I'd be interested to know where you got these numbers, since I believe JPM has not reported yet. I honestly think that everything that's out there now is just speculation - it seems like all the numbers are from a "friend", who is going on what they heard, rather than what they actually got...

Can any actual, current analysts post the dates that their bank reports? Or am I the only analyst on here? I'll start by saying that Citi reports this Thursday and Friday (I get my number Friday, but some are hearing on Thursday). I would have thought that other banks would have reported by now, but I haven't heard any reliable reports that others have, yet...

 
bbanalystNumbers are flat from last year. Last year got 85K as first year, this year 85k as second. That's my 100% accurate data point.

When second years this year get what first years got last year, that does not mean numbers are flat.

 

heard 30 was the low at JPM... 1st years that were let go upon integration of BSC got 25k

65k for top at lehman is spot on : )

anyone have any idea how classes are distributed, say among four/five buckets? i.e. what % fall top, bottom, middle

 

Where did second years come in?

What about raises? I was told no raise on base from second to third year - anyonme else get that?

 

Our raise was pretty good and more than I expected. Almost 20k in dollar terms. Guess that was to compensate for the drop in bonus (exactly 2/3 of 1st year base for 2nd tier out of 3 tiers - well ok there were actually 4 tiers but only 3 go paid, the fourth got fired just in time to not have to pay them...)

 

Can someone please put together a spreadsheet with what banks gave what this year? Last year there was a very comprehensive one going around but I have not got any this year. (Maybe lack of friends left.)

Wall Street Oasis - considering you guys are supposed to be a finance site for junior bankers and this is pretty much numero uno on the things we care about, don't you think publishing an accurate bonus roundup would be in order?

I'm just saying...
