At a BB, range was 0-45k with most being around 30-35k
so like 50% of base?
Yeah and it was considered a normal year
From what I seen from my peers bonuses were between 20-30k
Concur with this. "Lower tier" BBs.
Please some coulour on HL/Jeff/Baird An1 bonuses. Since the dealflow in MM was greater than in LC, I assume the bonus range was also higher?
What about EB(EVR/LAZ/PJT)?
PJT, PWP, CVP high (Relative to the BBs). EVR, LAZ okay (In line, sometimes lower than the BBs)
i think EVR pays above street
Anyone confirm Moelis bonus? Heard it was 50k for everyone with no buckets for AN1
??? Bonus isn't communicated until summer and paid then for AN?
£15k to £35k in most BBs and MMs last year
Considering the Euro and USD are nearly at parity, how are you able to live a decent lifestyle and build wealth on a 20-30k bonus? Believe UK base is also considerably lower than the US. Is the UK’s cost of living relatively cheaper than NYC?
I mean ideally they arent on 30k bonuses by the time they are in the late 20s
They pay people in UK in euros? Thought it was GBP
London's cost of living is not significantly lower than NY lol. You're not going to be living in luxury with an analyst IB bonus in the UK at all.
Need to know William Blair 👀
Any info on GS?
