Brutal bonus, sorry to hear.
That’s rough
My favorite part is the head of IB saying how great of a job the compensation team did two weekly meetings in a row. Yeah great job guys! Miss street comp very wide left two years in a row but you did awesome! It's just so hard to do your job!
rub salt in the wound why don't you. At least be smart and say nothing. Don't pretend you aren't deep dlcking people. Wall street bonuses might as well be public, everyone knows what everyone makes at the bank level.

Wait, do you mean Assoc 3? Because if you just got promoted then this is your Assoc 3 comp and not your VP 1 comp.
Why is 175k bonus during a slow year so bad? Kids on wso have no perspective at all.
