I’d posit that most VPs and some EDs at JPM aren’t on that salary.
Looking at the data, that salary is a massive outlier, and I know SVP salaries at Citi aren’t at 190 for technologists.
It's total comp. So salary plus bonus. It's high but I've seen higher at JPM in terms of total comp at VP level. If we're talking pure salary then yes £190k is base for a seasoned ED.
I guess I'm severely underpaid then....
However, I wouldn’t go back to an IB if I could avoid it. Fundamentally tech is just a cost centre and they have very top-down corporate cultures. Everything is intensely political.
