Morgan Stanley is raising salaries for junior bankers worldwide by about 25 percent, a person briefed on the matter said last month. That change only applied to associates and vice presidents in the investment banking and underwriting units.
The New York Post reported on Goldman Sachs’s pay increases earlier today.
