It's mid-June, and I know a good number of the banks out there pay out analyst bonuses on June 30, meaning some of you must be getting notified of your number end of this week, early next week, if not already. What are we hearing!? Please specify number, year, and quartile.
I don't find out until the last week of June.

Damn, I don't find out until mid-July. Curious to hear what the range is this year.
Guesstimates:
1st Year: $50-$60k 2nd Year: $70-$80k 3rd Year: $90-$100k
So in-line to slightly above 2010 numbers.
top bucket last year was 70k right..? so why would this year be 60k? i've heard that it will be flat this year too though..
Top bucket last year at my bank for first years was $50k (low end); I didn't hear a single bank give $70k top bucket for first years last year. I think it was around $50-$60k for first years last year.
Top bucket (low end) makes no sense. Top bucket on the street for BB's was $60-65k for first years. I think it will be around the same this year. Hopefully not lower than $55k for top bucket first years.
Sorry, what I meant by low end was my bank paid on the low end relative to others last year (well-known bank, just paid shitty compared to other well-known banks).
As a second year, hoping for $75k top bucket.
okay i know at least two banks that paid 70k last year but maybe that was an anomaly. but yea hoping its flat to slightly higher. unfortunately most guys don't even top bucket but its a good gauge of where the middle bucket should be..
Don't you guys remember that some banks paid > $70k last year for first years?
