Dare I bring it up...?

I know this has been on many of our minds as things have unfolded in the markets over the past month or so and dealflow has more or less stopped. Assuming a "moderate case" scenario from here on out(ie we don't go into a recession but deal flow doesn't revert back to what it has been the past few years), how much will bonus levels drop for us analysts/associates? I know that my bank has been eating it big time lately, and we probably aren't as in bad shape as some others. It's way premature to be predicting bonus numbers, but I'm curious what those who've been in the business think will happen under different scenarios.
