this is false. First year associate all in is slightly sub 300, but compare to similarly type A hoop jumping prestige chasing programmers in NYC(or SF) it's a bad deal - plus taxes, CoL, etc. Analyst is low 100 as someone said below.

At least analysts can bail to the buy side and have a +EV path out.

London folks have it way worse too, I hear. Same jobs, 60% of comp, London isn't cheaper than NY.
