IB Fees are up… are we back?

Several banks reported significant IB fee increases thus far in 2024, particularly recently around Q2 earnings.

What do people think this means for hiring, firing, pay, etc? Is it time for banks to start hiring again? Will bonuses be back to pre-Covid levels this year? Are we back?

Too late, I’m already a cop, making same salary as an analyst working less hours and OT (bonus) is pretty much guaranteed. Also less stress ( I have a concealed carry) if an MD wants smoke I can deliver it. Waiting for a guy like Jonathan Kaye to pull up on me.
