bonus bonus bonus bonus..

I'm so sick of hearing about how the banking cycle is over and it's a bad time to join (i'll be a 1st year next summer).. so let's talk about the damn bonus, how bad is it gonna be for analysts this year and next year. I know it's going down from now (with some exceptions like GS) but by how much do you all think??

For a analyst in HK, what are the exit opportunities like? I accepted the HK BB job because the banks cut the recruiting number at my school by large. What are my options if i wanted to come back to the U.S. after 2-3 years?

Thanks a lot!

 

Agree with Cindy_80. And also consider the fact that its easier to get into HK, etc because there is a demand for analysts there... moving back to NY would be quite tough for both the reasons.

 

thanks for the response. So i assume that business school could be a good stepping stone to transition back to the U.S.? Also, do bankers have any sort of edge when applying to top MBA programs?
