HL began communicating bonus figures yesterday (5/1). Curious to see if anyone has data points to share.

Wish I had numbers to share but haven’t had my review yet… have anecdotally heard neutral to happy. Will circle back when I have #s
This is for all levels except analysts, correct?
Correct
RX numbers were communicated this week. Not sure what the range was but heard data points for AS3 in the 275k neighborhood
What's the base for AS3?
This would be for the 200k base year. Progression is 175k stub / AS1 -> 175k AS2 -> 200k AS3 -> 225k AS4
Infos on London?

We got any CF numbers? Have my review Thursday and would prefer to not be flying blind.

Have been anecdotally hearing people are generally happy like +/-100% bonus ranges
CF or FR?
CF but again, anecdotally, so potentially not the best sample based on the below comment.
Bump - been hearing 60% - 70% for associates
Better than other MMs… but based on this town hall and record rev performance a bit disappointing. I guess most of it went to increasing the dividend…
Bump
In CF so far I have seen $75K-$100k for associates.
That’s tough. I’ve seen some associates in HL’s advisory business touching $60-$70k. Not much of a spread between that and the low end you mentioned for CF.
Are bonus ranges similar for all CF groups? So similar bonuses across all M&A industry teams, Capital Solutions (ECM/ Debt Advisory) etc.?
Stub - $75k
Low compare to market?
