How long does it take to become an investment banker? One can become an investment banking analyst directly after earning a bachelorâs degree, but it can take two or more years of working experience plus a graduate degree to advance to associate status at an investment bank.
Going into 2011, starting salaries for investment banking positions with a bachelors degree (assistant or junior analyst position) should range from $100,000 to $130,000 after bonus. Starting salaries with an MBA degree (associate position) range after bonus from $90,000 to $180,000. These salaries vary with firms and with the region of the country you are in.
