Someone mentioned bonuses for JPM being ~20% of revenue produced. Is that accurate?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, the compensation for different levels in private banking at JPM can be as follows:
These figures can vary widely as it largely depends on how the Private Bank performs as a whole. If someone posts exceptional Q1 numbers, they could potentially earn more than this.
As for the bonuses being ~20% of the revenue produced, I don't have specific information on that. However, it's important to note that bonuses in banking are often a significant portion of the total compensation and are typically tied to performance. So, it's plausible that the bonus could be a percentage of the revenue produced.
Remember, these numbers are for the PB's core cities (NYC, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, LA, and San Fran), they might be lower for the more regional offices.
Hope this helps! If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

I've been a consistent top performer and my flows while I was on the new hire plan (comp based on net inflows) were above average for my year
Wow! this makes me consider leaving PE for PB… I guess you are an advocate?
Were you a bit above average or a significant outlier? And are you in a HCOL city?
Congrats on your success!
