How are you spending your bonus? Bloomberg News wants to hear from you.

Wall Street bonus season is here.

I’m a money reporter and I’m looking to speak with finance professionals about this year’s bonuses — how they compare to expectations, how you’re feeling about them, and what (if anything) you’re planning to spend them on.

Are you saving? Investing? Paying down debt? Making a big purchase? Sitting tight?

If you’re open to sharing your perspective (on or off the record), please DM me or email me at [email protected]. We're looking to hear from everyone from analysts to MDs in IB, PE, HF and VC. 

Confidential conversations welcome.
