HSBC is increasing salaries for junior bankers, expanding recruitment and accelerating promotions in the latest efforts from a large investment bank to combat burnout among younger dealmakers.

The UK lender has outlined a series of measures aimed at reducing workload for juniors amid a surge in deals, as well as offering more perks to retain younger bankers as rivals step up recruitment, according to a memo seen by Financial News.
