Hi, im a second year investment banking analyst in London and received my bonus of GBP 30,000 a few weeks ago.
I was wondering if this is acceptable or a piss take for a 2nd year IBD analyst in London as it feels really low?
Has any other IBD analysts in London recently received their bonuses? if so please feel free to comment anonymously what it was and what your title was to compare?
Thanks.
