Bad bonus.

Bonus - Feel like I was screwed

I am a 1.5 year analyst at a regional boutique. I received a bonus of 40% despite a very postive performance review and a record year. The firm also is growing and added two members to the team.

My coworkers all received full bonuses except for me. I am very appreciative but consider 40% to be low in a record year. Thoughts?

Edit; coworkers have same/less tenure as me at firm but more outside experience

I tried asking but he brushed it off, didn’t want to press it too much as well, but would you agree that it’s a bit low? Based on what I’ve shared to other people, they’re saying I’m overthinking this, and I’m obviously grateful for any bonus but I can’t shake the disappointment for some reason
