None of the BBs, hell Wells was better than all the BBs. Sad state of affairs for the industry
JPM was fine
What was JPM's like at the Associate level?
True lmao
Most EBs (CVP/PJT/PWP/EVR/GHL/MOE) had great bonuses. LAZ was on the lower end it seems.
Some BBs were doing exceptionally awful this year (esp BofA, Citi, and Barclays).
del
lmao what i was thinking.
but fr how were bonuses at greenhill this year?
add GUGG to the banks with good bonuses
How was HW
I heard they were down but still stronger than 95% of the street.
.
I got 80k at Wells
What level?
first year associate
bump
Fire Power Capital
bump
I got 80k at a Nordic bank
100% Cap if you are a first-year analyst
Nordic banks dont pay well, and the BB’s bonuses were shit
Why would I cap in an anonymous forum lol, zero incentive
GHL -
AN1 - 200k total comp (top bucket), mid bucket around 170k-180k all in
ASO1 - 360K-385K total comp (top bucket), mid bucket around 300K-325K
Tough when GHL hasn’t announced yet (at least in the US)
