Benefits for Top Analysts

I have heard some people say banks roll out the red carpet for the top analysts in the group but most people complain about how the only benefit is an incremental after-tax bonus for a lot more work. Does anyone know if banks reward their top analysts in any other way?

Like most people have said, besides your bonus not really.

At the same time, if you progress quickly and prove that you can handle responsibility, you could find yourself playing more of an associate-lite role by your second year (depending on how your group operates) and delegating some of the more mundane work to first years if you’re staffed on a deal with them. While this doesn’t necessarily help your hours, it does make the deal process more interesting in my opinion.
