Are you still quitting?
Throughout the year we've seen threads about quitting
Bonuses seem to be decent for most of us, so are you still quitting come pay day end of this month or next?
I am :)

Probably not, associates make a ton now
It's the never-ending cycle of wall street: 1) holy shit, I just got fucking PAID, I'm a master of the universe, I could do this forever; 2) this place fucking sucks, no one cares about me; 3) why the fuck am I doing this, I'm sacrificing everything and they don't deserve me, I'm quitting...
Rinse and repeat
This is the way
yes lol
Why - did you bank's bonuses not hit, and what about the rest of your first year class
MS bonuses are shit, not worth it
wrapped up my first year and exiting into a HF. Need better WLB
If bonuses continue to be 90%+ of base with consistent raises, I'm here and will be continue to be even over the buy-side. Drop a single percent under that and me and many others will be out. It's that simple
Why a single %, will that change?
I say that as this level of comp needs to continue and we are firm on that. Maybe a slight exaggeration on the single % but the days of 50k bonuses for analysts being acceptable are gone in my eyes.
People are here to vent not quit. Who will do it does it quietly.
think you missed a couple threads on this, but yeah fair point on the selection bias
Yep, still quitting. The money makes the leave a little less satisfying but wouldn’t have changed my mind nonetheless. Money can’t buy happiness or buy back all the weekends/holidays I missed
