Considering that Citi paid almost double the bonus MS paid this year, I wish I took literally any bank over MS.

I made 148k as an An1 at MS and I was mid bucket. FUCK MS and their cheap asses. 9 AM to 3AMs in my group everyday to make 148k. Absolute joke. 

 

hmm... i assume your bonus was around 42k-ish? since the $110k salary kicked in Jan 1st so for you to have gotten paid $148k not including signing / relocation your summer bonus would have been around 42k?

no offense but i'm pretty sure 42k was below mid-bucket, unfortunate about the 9am to 3ams though. assume you're in FIG or M&A or something? those are the the only groups i can think of that would go 9am to 3am every day
