I heard associate 2 mid bucket at Lazard was £70k. General vibe is that they were bad
Any insight in ECM team have a potential second round with their team in NY.
Of Rothschild? I heard that it was worse last year only 10-20%
Yeah for Rothschild
for NY bonuses?
Investment Banking is no longer a destination job for smart people.
Bonuses were brutal according to a very close friend in one of the groups. Stay away.
R&Co: A1 - continental Europe (20-30%)
Damn, that’s bad
Does Rothschild have analysts in the sponsors group? Can’t seem to find any on LinkedIn - same for Lazard
No only an MD
Have heard aso bonuses ranged from 10-20% last year
This is not true for US. Not sure about London if that is what you are referring
Any figures for Lazard?
maybe the laz folks are reeling from shock, but can we get some numbers lmao
Indeed many in shock, think 50%
Brutal. iirc, laz associate base ie 185, 200, 225, so thats like a 350 ceiling for all associates. give or take 50k and that's still bad smh
