Overview: This paper briefs about variations in fixed income compensation. The barometer for analysts' compensation is comparable coverage and experience at the rating agencies. They are the largest and most active participants in the market. Base pay patterns don't differ much. Common for the sell side is $125-150Kwhile it is $150-175K for the buy side. But bonuses tilt the table. Buy-side bonuses are fractional, often 25 to 50%. Sell-side bonuses regularly are multiples of base varying with market conditions and the analyst's contribution to productivity.
