Searching where? Another firm that unfortunately also pays terrible bonuses?

 

$20k-$40k for a non-mba is not comparable across the street at all, MBA stubs at market in 2023 were anywhere from $35k-$75k, getting a $30k bonus as a full time experienced associate for top 3 bucket sounds like the firm is bleeding somewhere and downsizing regardless of performance

Not true. TD Cowen and BMO paid very close to 100% bonus for ASO this year despite lower deal flow. Idk what HL is doing

 

Atrocious comp. About 50% of last year’s A2A on a gross FY basis (AS0s are stubbed 9 months).

 

Laboriosam nam ipsum non nihil itaque suscipit. Consequatur odit sit quos cum est. Eaque id quidem est dolore sed eum aut et. Sed et maiores molestias molestiae sed sed molestiae. Minima necessitatibus debitis vitae doloremque dolores facilis deserunt.
