It’s one thing for analyst 2s this year to make less than analyst 2s last year. It makes sense for bonuses to go down when business is down. 

It’s way worse when analyst 2s this year make less than what they themselves made last year as analyst 1s. That means after a whole extra year of work and deals and experience you’re now worth less than you were the year before lmao.

Act tough all you want but anybody here that’s still part human or at least part monkey would accept that shit hurts man

 

Pick yourself up and realize you still made $200k as a 24yr old and have a great job. Many would love to be in your shoes. There will be big years again. Or, if the WLB isn’t worth the money, switch to corp. dev or something else but realize you simply can’t make $200k 2 years out of school without either grinding in banking or coding. You can’t have your cake and eat it too…
