London 2021 IBD Bonuses

Hearing that a number of firms have started to announce bonuses (HSBC, Citi), keen to get a thread on London bonuses running in this weird year where comp seems to be moving at all places.

Would be great if you could post with the following information - try to make it clear so people can benchmark easily:

Bank / Bank type: (BB / EB / US vs EU / name of the bank):

Seniority / Title (Ana/Asso/VP/ED/MD) and (1/2/3):

Team (IB Coverage, M&A, RX, DCM, ECM, LevFin, Other):

Base Comp (trailing not the newly announced ones or seperate them):

Bonus (with Cash / Equity split as appropriate):

Rank (Top / Mid / Bottom):

Other notes / reaction vs expectations:

In comments please try to respect people that take part and avoid trying to exposing them.

Thanks!

Pasting some from the 2021 Bonus Megathread that got lost for London:

ArbitrageA

London, AN1, GS/MS/JPM, top bucket

50k base // 50k bonus (+ 6k sign-on)

Base bumped to 65k for AN2

Anon User Asso 1 - Ind IB:

EB London - A3 - Top Bucket £65 + £82 + signing £32 

Ass0 = £95

Anon Ana1:

AN1. 50k base + 60k bonus + ~10k sign on etc. May be closer to £125k actually. Btw I'm not at CVP, just one of the other US boutiques that benefited from COVID.
