£50k base for a random IB in London doesn’t sound shockingly low to me. There’s two things there:

1. Pay in general is lower in the UK than the US. The bank will pay what they can get away with and there isn’t enough competition between banks/consultancies/tech/law to drive pay up. I wouldn’t be surprised if more competitive candidates got higher offers.

2. A lot of compensation can be made up in bonuses, though I don’t know what kind of bonus a junior analyst might get.
