BNP Paribas has raised salaries for entry-level investment bankers in the US to $100,000, the latest bank to hike pay amid a battle for young talent.

The French bank has increased pay from $85,000 to $100,000, matching the vast majority of large investment banks on Wall Street, which have moved to boost pay amid an increase in departures at the junior level.
