Corporate goal is to maximize shareholder value, not junior banker pay... To incentivize shareholder value contribution bonuses are performance based at different levels from the division down to the senior bankers. To that end, the corporation wants to incentivize the investment banking division to maximize profit. When it does that the IB gets the carrot of big bonuses. When it doesn't it gets the stick of lower bonuses. The corporation isn't going to take a reward from a division doing well (consumer credit cards, etc.) and use it instead to bonus the divisions that aren't doing well. Would lessen the incentive to perform well in future years.
