First Year Associate Stub Bonuses This Year + First Full Year

QUESTION: New to this board, I'm trying to see what if any flexibility the BB banks give on stub bonuses; I was one of a few to get an offer when things were bad last year and the stub my BB promised is lower than usual. Now that my firm is actually doing much better than expected, does anyone have an idea. I'm promised a stub of $50K. I'm in a FIG group and we have been extremely busy and I almost never go home, sleep, shit, etc. so I feel I deserve more than that.

Also, what do people expect this year for full time Associate bonuses (all in). Just so I have an idea what to look for in the class above me and next year, of course. I was an analyst at another BB prior to B-School, but never knew what BB Associates made, as it was always a bit of a mystery. Also, please don't reply unless you have good information, as I imagine this could / would be useful to many of us.s

Any help / thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
