2006 Compensation Discussion

While we wait for the 2006 bonus compensation database to be posted shortly, what is the general consensus for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year analyst bonus numbers for this year? Please post only confirmed numbers, not rumors.

How does this compare to associate compensation received earlier this year?

Are base increases the same as last year? 55, 65, 75; 95/105?

For the new chimps (analysts and associates), who just started in June or July, what are signing bonuses paying this year?

i know the leading banks are doing 60k salary + 10k sign on/relocation bonus. anyone have any idea if this means that first years going on their second will be bumped to 70k salary to keep the 10k differential b/w class? i have my review this week but was curious if anyone knew

 

It is 30k, but then there's more if you sign right away, plus an end of summer bonus, plus a relocation reimbursement. Altogether, you end up with a $50K plus signing bonus.
