Stub bonus for second year associate (5 months): £31k
Very disappointing and ridiculous number
Don’t get discouraged - the stub is always crap because they pay everyone the same so the bank has no incentive to pay under-performers a good bonus. It sucks, I know, but next year will be accordingly better
Did you join in the middle of year?
or are you stub?
Anyone got more UK numbers? Especially associate would be interesting
+ would also love to know
85k all cash
Asc 1 (mba year)

Associate just promoted to VP
2024 Base: $225k, Bonus: $185k (~15% stock)
New Base: $250k
Thought GS VP1 was 275k? Did they bring that back down? Thought people getting VP during 2021 and 2022 were at 275k base as a new VP promote
VP1-2 are $250k
VP3-4 are $275k
not sure about VP5 and up though.
Nope

Classic Goldman, paying less than Citi despite being way more profitable lol
Well, Citi didn't have to shell out $80M x 2 for DJ DSol and Waldron lol
Any VP numbers?
Long way from 2021 / 2022 volumes.
