Winter 2022 Bonus Thread - Investment Management

Alright everyone--winter bonuses are being announced and it's time to share! This year could see some shakeups in response to banking raises

Let's see if we can make this more valuable than the nonsense in the IB thread...


PLEASE: 

Post your years of experience and level of degree. No more analyst/associate confusion

Get as specific as you can with asset class and role, rating, and hours

Don't be a pansy--post the name of your company

If your company is private (or you can't post the name because it has very few employees), please post AUM and generalize net flows or returns if relevant.

And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE no boloney responses

Thanks for helping to get the ball rolling.

Hopefully you at least enjoyed your team, learned something, and had good work/life balance. Best of luck in recruiting!

 

You are maybe 15k underpaid if you are doing actual investing work and not just portfolio monitoring/compliance work. Your salary is probably 10k low and your bonus is maybe 5k lower than market in 2020 (not sure how things will change going forward but I'm expecting a lower bonus next year)

If possible, please name your company. Invesco?

 

Rebooting this thread because nobody made another:
