How are people finding out about 2022 bonuses already?
Understandable question. Title of post is confusing. It's really 2021 bonuses being paid out summer 2022 for junior bankers that started on cycle in the summer prior.
Why do you guys make these threads?
Why is your username “pussy galore”
Bond movie reference
Hope you’re right man. We need that bonus to come in BIG. I’ve lost half my wealth in the NFT crash and it’s time to double down.
Ah, youth.

Bank: Barclays
Group: Coverage
Position: An2
Ranking: Mid
Bonus: ~$75k
Base Salary: $125k
Range was around ~$55k-$95k across buckets for An2, median of ~$79k.
1st year median was $42k.
Rounded numbers for anonymity. The boys are not happy.
It's not even $200k -- Barclays bumped up base like 4 months ago so really you're seeing AN2s getting like 170k-190k.
This is a solid outcome given market conditions. Do not look at 2020/2021 bonuses as the norm.
2019 and prior for AN2 was around 150-225.
Thanks, VP in Barclays HR.
Barclays A1Base of 110k (new)Bonus was ~40kI'm very disappointed. Not going to be giving much effort at work going forward if I'm being honest. This is corp dev comp.Understand the culture has been decent but it's still banking tf? This is literally a pay cut from last year with inflation considered.
Edit: had very good reviews
Did people seriously expect comp to match that of last year? Why would banks match them given market conditions. I also don’t expect Barclays to be the only one to disappoint. Goldman said it last year - don’t expect the current comp (last year’s comp) to be the status quo
I mean ~150k all in comp seems borderline disrespectful if someone is being put through the ringer.
Regardless of how inflated 2021 numbers were, this pay is like solidly below 19/20…
All the inflation and the fact that we worked for half of last year? Not to mention my group was still busy and doing deals. We still made a shit ton of money. The point of base increases were to combat inflation over the last 10 years, but the total comp figure is less. So a double cut from last year. Like, it’s not even matching associate base salaries wtf?
Also, an extra 30k for 100 analysts is 3M and with tax savings 2.1M. That’s such a rounding error for a bank that made $7bn profit and to absolutely kill morale.
heard barclays bonuses were average/mid, but tbh hours been more chill lately so not too bad
Bonuses were bad, hours have been absolutely fucking awful lately. ECM/LF are chilling but there is still a ton going on in the coverage groups. Definitely not “chill” recently and these bonus #s are a slap in the face.
I always laugh thinking about this call where the head of banking said they want to “lead banking compensation and be #1.” Absolute joke.
average in what context? looks well below average based on this tread
average compared to fees produced, every here is expecting 2021 numbers lol that's completely out of touch with reality

Total Comp: ~$148k
Range was around ~$35k-$55k for An1, median of ~$45k
Very disappointed
Sounds like Shiti Bank found a new partner!
Barclays has generally paid slightly below market but has, by all accounts, a great culture. Citi has generally paid below market and has, by all accounts, a terrible culture. So although I don't work at either, Barclays is still a better career bank than Citi.
Is it me or does it seem like only associates + got a share of the pie during the crazy year last year where analyst got stuck with nothing and penalized because half of their year has been down, where the first half was insane. They are disregarding the crazy first half analyst had for their year, gave the associates + a nice share and punished analyst for the 2nd half downturn? Or am I not thinking of it correctly?
Completely agree - the timing of the bonus cycle has completely fucked us, last year's bonus didn't fully reflect the outperformance either

Canaccord, more like CanAFFORD!
Is it 2 year or 3year analyst program? In that liquidity post with cannacord it showed a2 base as 110, was that inaccurate?
Are numbers in Canadian dollars?
How is Canaccord paying for this? Their market cap is only like $650mm. Is their whole IB group like 15 people?
Lol you think businesses pay comp out of their market cap? Your intern is showing

Yeah its definitely low end of the street but I'm pretty happy taking 167k for first year considering the WLB I got out of it (worked past 8 on Friday like 10 times, maybe worked 7 Saturdays which was limited to a few hours, not working every Sunday, and getting to take vacation/advantage of most long weekends).
All things considered, am happy and will likely stick around.

You made $190k one year out of school, calm down
Feel like JPM just didn’t give me credit for all the hard work I did this year. Constantly working weekends, up late and had multiple deals close. For them to give such a low bonus makes me feel like my seniors pocketed a sick bonus in December and then paid us scraps
JPM NYC An 1 - Coverage (just got auto-promoted to An 2)
Salary: 110k

Mid bucket / "on track" in every category based on reviews, but now has me questioning?? Thought I was upper-mid based on my work/results. Grinded the whole year, was told by associates I was really stepping up, but guess just got brought down by the politics since I refused to kiss-a**. All in comp equal to FTP base... not happy at all and embarrassing, actually.
Did JPM significantly overhire during covid?
Probably over hired and cares too much about politics. Just very very frustrating to get such a low bonus. Multiple VPs and associates have directly told me along the lines of “Thanks for leading, you are the associate here!”
Sorry I didn’t suck up to everyone and grab coffee with seniors every week or try to be funny (it’s so cringe)? I never did anything disrespectful, just performed well at the job. I think I’ll be leaving very soon and want to get interns / those looking FT not to join.

Mid Bucket / Let the firm know I was leaving
Heard some A1 top buckets got more than A2/A3s leaving.
JPM - NYC A1 (top group)
Total Comp = FTP base
Needless to say, I’m depressed and realize my dick isn’t as big as I thought it was going to be after bonus hits. Losing my potential tinder dates for sure.
To address the JPM VP above who claims to have participated in round tables and subsequently acts like this process is somehow just and doesn't involve politics and sucking up:
JPM has "buckets" but still ranks and pays bonuses by a number ranking (i.e. #1 ranked analyst, #2, etc.). Not sure what group you're in, but I'm in a top 3 coverage group and it's honestly EXTREMELY difficult (and toxic) to determine ranking at a level this granular. Sure, sometimes there is a clear top few analysts and a bottom few, but how do you differentiate between the #4 ranked analyst vs the #5 ranked analyst? At a certain point, I would say it is 90% politics. If one or two seniors who supports you doesn't happen to show up at roundtable since they're at a client meeting, you could go from top-ranking to mid-bucket, since I'm sure as hell the top kids from top groups all get positive reviews and almost no negative feedback.
And one quick point about bonuses getting allocated to "reward the top bucket" - this is largely false. The top 3 ranked analysts (e.g. not buckets, but literally the top 3 ranked analysts) got paid above 70k, but after that, more or less everyone got paid below, so wouldn't put too much credibility to your words...
