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!
