Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information about Barclays' stub bonuses for associates directly mentioned. However, to give you an idea of the landscape during the COVID period, stub bonuses across various banks were subject to significant adjustments. For instance, there was a general expectation that A3 bonuses could be cut in half, which might suggest a similar trend for stub associates (A0) bonuses. Additionally, one example mentioned in the context was a stub bonus being prorated to $26K due to longer training and starting later, with deep cuts potentially reducing it further to around $13K.
For a broader perspective, in a non-COVID context, a GS MBA Stub Associate (AS0) received a base of 175k with a stub bonus of 100k, all cash, and a sign-on of 60k, totaling almost 250k pre-tax for about 6 months on the desk. This, however, came with a significant cost to personal life and health.
It's important to note that bonuses can vary widely based on the bank's performance, the specific division, and broader economic conditions. For Barclays or any specific bank, it would be best to look for the most recent data or insider information for the most accurate figures.
