    Investment Banking - permie job?

    Hi, have any 'tractors here found a permie job in an IB recently. I've started looking and it nearly makes me physically sick, but needs-must.

    What are you're experiences? Where did you end up?

    There is work out there, I used to permy IB, then went contracting and now seriously considering going permy IB again.

    Some banks pay better than others, I wouldnt consider RBS as a permy they pay cr*p, the fund management / front office side of IT tends to pay better. Current client pays upto £70k for standard analyst level but you need decent busines knowledge for that, bonus usually around £15k at that level, I do know some permy coders here though on £90k plus bonus around £30k ! You need to time it right as well, if you come in as a permy now you unlikely to get anything in this bonus cycle which varies across banks from Dec - Feb. If I was going permy at an IB I would be looking around March time.
