Bonus Season - Its that season

Its that season boys, and our firm like all the others wants to know what everyone is expecting this year (we operate on June
year ends for analysts). To any of you who have an idea of what to expect please let me know, especially anyone working for a Canadian firm.

From what I've heard our firm (Top Canadian firm) pays 65,000 base and 35 - 40 bonus for a first year, all figures in Canadian dollars.

Cheers,

 

I know that at one of the leading German banks, pay starts at approx. EUR 60K for M&A analysts and EUR 45K for Research analysts. You can expect as a bonus something between 50-80% of your base pay for 1st/2nd year.

 

question is, why are the bonus numbers so low in the 2005 report when average numbers were supposedly in the 65-75 range for first years. i'm seeing numbers there as low as 35?!

 

my guess is the 2005 numbers have some kids in bucket shops where they pay significantly less. most of the numbers that get quoted and float around (65k) are the top end of the range and sometimes even slightly inflated... a $35k bonus is definitely weak for last year though. maybe they just sucked at their job.

 

Does anyone know the scale? Anybody? How much does DCM IBK Analysts make compared to IBK analysts?
