Based on the most helpful WSO content, for senior AM roles (e.g., VP, Director) at bulge bracket firms like JPM or GS, it is reasonable to expect bonuses in the range of 100%+ of base salary. For example, Senior Analysts in AM can see bonus ranges of 65-100% of their base salary, and as you move up to VP or Director levels, the bonus percentages can increase further, often exceeding 100%, depending on performance and firm-specific structures.

From 50% upwards, proportional to title. 100% would be MD.
So for VPs and EDs, it will be closer to 50% than to 100%?
