How to Structure Bonus Comp for Analyst
I'm at a SM L/S sub $500mm AUM outside Chicago. Current bonus structure is a LSD % of PNL after a 4% hard hurdle rate and a high water mark. We've been short biased and had a huge year in 2022. We stayed short through 2023 and ended up with negative returns after Nov/Dec of 2023, so it looks like I...

So, you get a 0 for your bonus....
Then what do you do? Quit the minute it hits the bank? Take a few days off to cool down? Come in at 9 and leave at 5? Without a bonus, you certainly aren't getting paid for long hours or weekend work. What would you do?
1st Year Analyst - Thoughts on Quitting
I'm a 1st year analyst a BB and I'm pretty sure I'm going to quit after I get my 1st year bonus.

I used to have a great balanced life, and I used to really be interested in finance...

Bonus Freeze -> Hiring Freeze?
Don't want to turn anyone off but the banking pay will be rubbish for the next 3 years at least especially with the LIBOR and interest rate swap scandals - bonuses aren't going to be great. That said, at the junior level you will be less affected. Do you think more people will start looking for...

Post-bonus hiring
I'm assuming that many bonuses have been paid out by this time of year so my question is has there been a lot of turnover in ER offices (especially healthcare/biotech for personal reasons) now that people have taken the money and ran.
