Bonus #s?

You won't get solid JPM numbers until close to the end of June.

Between 60-80 seem to be the normal range this year

How can you state a "normal range" when numbers haven't been announced yet? Are you just guessing?

No those numbers have been confirmed by staffers...

And before you run off some stupid response, know that one firm just paid out analyst bonuses.

$3,600 was the number. It's going to be a rough summer across the board for analyst pay.

Care to check the date of those posts by TheGreatOne?

Wow - just when I thought this board couldn't get any stupider... Come on, nystateofmind; attention to detail!

I'm just praying i'll net five figures after tax. We have some huge deals that might close before bonus day, so fingers crossed...

lol, not looking good. minimum wage anyone?

Bonuses for this year are going to be in the range of $15-35k (40K for GS).

Macquarie first year analysts were about 5,000 to 8,000. Pretty awful

that it will go 30, 40, 50 at the top firms for 1-3rd years.

this isnt based on any confirmed intel but thats my feeling based on what was paid in 01-02 and how much the associates got in december.

LOL did someone seriously dig up a thread from a year ago and call them out?

hahaha pwned

Yeah that was a pretty stupid bump

However, I'm guessing even TARP banks are going to be paying out bonuses in the 15K-30K range for 1st years across front office (IB / ER / S&T)

1st year analysts traditionally have had the same bonus buckets over the past few years, regardless of which front office role they are in - I don't see that changing in the near future.

oops - good point fellas. just keeping you on your toes.

LOL...right

Stk - from what I've seen, 1st years across all front-office positions generally are paid on the same bonus range. I don't know why this is the case, but its been a common practice. The pay scale DOES diverge significantly after the analyst level. Of course, I do not have infinite data points so feel free to add on

I will hit every 60k 1st year bonus bid out there. No way in hell its not happening dream on. No one is getting 60k. Do you schnooks realize how bad things are right now.

I will take the under on 70k for top analyst for any BB. $20-$50 friendly wager?

Associates got 10-20k, and that is not stub. thats a full 1st year associate bonus at UBS. their analysts are expecting a 5-10k bonus.

my gf got 40K this year. 2nd year analyst

STK123 - For 1st year analysts, the bonus pay is same for all front-office from what I've seen. However, bonus pay diverges more and more as a career progresses - maybe that is why we have conflicting beliefs on what the case is.

STK123 - You might be right, perhaps all front-office positions have the same lower limit on bonus ranges but certain parts of IB have higher upper limits - not sure. I tried looking up more info in the forums and most have said all first years are paid on the same bonus scale. At the places I am familiar with, this is also the scale, though its intuitive that IBers make more (since they work more hours...produce more direct revenue...etc.) I guess its pointless to debate since we're both probably right - anyone else care to weigh in?

atleast one bank has ER in the same bonus pool as ST and IB, but most don't. I also forget which bank this is, making this post pretty useless.

SubPrimeVictim - I know which bank(s) you are talking about - at least 2 of the BB's do this, no good info on others on my end. But who knows, things might be totally different next year.

1rst year analyst at Swiss BB in S&T - 10k stub 1rst year analyst at commodities shop - 20k full year 1rst year associate at commodities shop - 40k full year

MS and GS pay ER bonuses=IBD bonuses for analysts. I know that for a 100% fact. Later on the pay difference increases but people in ER still make a ton at those firms, especially GS
