Fellow Monkeys,
I read a lot about bonuses when it comes to top or upper mid-bucket, but see rarely any information on the bottom bucket associates (that clearly exist as every ranking is a forced ranking).
In other words, what is the lowest bonus Associates can expect this year?
Associate 1 (not stub) at BB getting bukkake’d in monkey shit from associates with higher seniority and VPs here.

0 bonus for bottom bucket this year at gs and jp
Source?
Probably a VP or knows the data at one of those shops - why question him?
JPM has been giving donut holes as bonuses for st least 3 years
there are so many bonus threads that said the same exact things. GS, JPM, MS all gave out 0 bonuses to some people this year.
They have given 10k as bonus last year
Not sure if you are seeing other threads but significant # of folks getting 30-50, some of whom not explicitly bottom. Tough scenes
