ER associate bonus is so low

It almost feels like a corporate job with long hours. My friends on Main Street have annual bonus around 30%, let alone Tech where people may receive 100% considering RSU.

ER ROI is so low unless you become an analyst. But then even much longer hours and higher stress.
