Hi guys,
I searched and found a few dated threads, but with bonus season coming up I was wondering what the actual bottom to middle bonuses have been recently when compared to the top bonus? Are we talking a dispersion of $30k or something much more? I see myself in the middle bucket, but there are a lot of talented analysts and politics in my group so I am just trying to get an idea to mentally prepare myself for whatever hits me. Thanks!!!

Assuming it's banking, I'm interested in this as well. I know top bucket at my firm last year was 80k, but I wonder if the lower-bottom people got significantly less... like 30k or something.
I have read somewhere bonuses vary. I do not think there is something like a, "standard" bonus like what is signed in engineering, but I think with IBD/Finance + BigLaw (or law in general) bonuses varies on all different levels.
If I am wrong, please provide more info! Thanks!
Last year mid bucket was 65k at one of the BBs. Bottom was 50k and top was 75k. Add 10-15k for EBs and subtract for MMs. Rough guidelines I would say.
So yeah, for first year it's not really a big deal, but I would be concerned if you're bottom bucket for reasons other than comp. Bonuses are likely to be down this year so don't expect the above.
