2018 Bonus Rumors

Has anyone been hearing rumors on how bonuses are looking this year?

WSP: "An investment banking analyst should make $155, $180K, and $205K in years one, two and three (plus or minus $5-10K depending on how good or bad the bank did). Perhaps add an extra $5K to be safe this year given that results were up slightly."

 

the original numbers:

A1: that number is ~ top bucket at an EB A2: Upper Middle bucket EB. Know kids who crack 200k as 2nd yr at EB A3: Don't know any analysts who are still there after 3. More banks are moving to 2 or 2.5 A2A promotion. But that seems light given the A2 over 200k.

I think realistic numbers (excl. sign-on)

A1: 85k + 60k - 75k A2: 90K + 75k - 90k (I'm treating the above as an outlier though if you guys know of more than i would revise upward)

These numbers are absolutely correct

 
the magnum:
What a lot of ppl seem to be missing is that stubs are extremely common these days for first years. Most BBs gave stubs, ex jpm and maybe another one. Standard An1 stub is 25k

True... forgot that this is a thing now.

 

Inflation kills Purchasing Power and Woolymammoths - saw it on Fox News and CNN.

Props to Gainalyst2015 for running the numbers. In MD speak* if you could refresh those even though I won't be meeting with the client until next week.

26 Broadway where's your sense of humor?
 

Not sure how these bonuses could be this high for a 1st year analyst given that most start in the summer (mid year when it comes to bonus cycle). Pretty sure most BB 1st year comp is $85K base, $10K sign on bonus, $25K stub bonus.

Good headhunters?

Wouldn't know... I personally marked myself as "open" or whatever it is LinkedIn calls it to flag it to recruiters that you're open to different roles, they make it so those within your own company can't find you on the list, it's a free option... have been getting 2-3 messages a day, some are completely out of nowhere - Apple reached out for a supply chain role managing a part of their supply chain on the east coast at $165k, requiring you move out to their HQ.... keep in mind I'm a 2nd year and have no experience in supply chain so definitely would advise you to give it a go.
