The number I heard from the recruiter regarding one of those names was £75k + quarterly bonus for an entry level quant researcher, but it was quite a while ago and he was possibly spoofing that to persuade me to interview (the jobspec he showed me included a bunch of some corp-like materials that put me off). I was looking to move quickly from a job where I was getting £45k + 0 bonus (my first job outside the academia, not in finance), which probably lowballed my potential salary. Maybe all those factors played together to reflect some realistic entry level salary -- no idea, but I'm also curious how much they pay these times.
