Bonus 2023

Hey there!

For a scoop on the 2023 bonus landscape, based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what's been shared:

• Well Paying Banks (which would include some mid-market firms): Harris Williams (HW), Truist, Oppenheimer, Wells Fargo (WF), UBS, Bank of America (BofA), Morgan Stanley (MS), Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Houlihan Lokey (HL), Lazard (LAZ), and Piper Sandler (PS) are considered well-paying. If you're at one of these firms, you might be enjoying Trader Joe's hauls, pre-gaming with some economical beverages, and living a comfortable, if not lavish, lifestyle.

For more specific numbers or insights, especially for mid-market investment banks like Baird or HW, you might want to check out the latest threads on the WSO forum. There, you can find analysts and associates sharing their bonus figures and experiences, which could give you a clearer picture of the current bonus climate.

Remember, bonuses can vary widely based on individual performance, firm profitability, and market conditions, so take the shared information as a general guide rather than a guaranteed benchmark.
