GS Bonus - Bloomberg

From Bloomberg report as of December 1:

“Goldman executives were warned of cuts to year-end bonuses this year, people familiar with the matter said. Austerity is the new mood in the industry, with many veterans uncertain about the outlook for earnings in 2023.”

“Other major divisions (outside of trading) will see even larger -- albeit less surprising -- cuts to bonus pools following slumps in those businesses. 

The investment banking unit is bracing for a much steeper decline than the roughly 25% reductions it expects at competitors, the people said. And the number of bankers receiving zero bonus -- or doughnuts in the industry’s parlance -- could surpass 100, which would be an unusually large group.”

Spent my analyst years at GS before lateraling, and GS does have value. The GS name is second to none and having it on your resume isn’t just a step up for PE recruiting, but is huge if you want to do anything else down the line in the corporate world. Also, the analyst deal exposure at GS is second to none given GS’s franchise strength. During my two years there I worked on 2 $10B+ M&A deals and 3 more $5B+ deals, as well as a handful of high-profile IPOs, and I don’t think my deal exposure would have nearly been as good at a mid-tier BB.

well why would anyone PAY $80k to go to harvard when community college is free?

 

This is for every firm tbh. Makes you wonder if the 90 hour weeks are worth it when you know your getting a $40K bonus as an analyst
