Hi
I had a question on YE bonuses for first year analysts. Let's say you start working in July 2016 and get paid a YE16 bonus of $30k. When you get your YE17 bonus do you compare it to your actual YE16 bonus or your YE16 bonus annualized?

You can also compare it to your actual $ bonus to make yourself feel better (or worse, in some cases).
Not to hijack your post but I have a somewhat related question. If my offer letter states that my target year end bonus is 10% and I start in the middle of June, is that 10% of my yearly salary or pro-rated from my start date?
