Monkeys, do you know when London Bulge Brackets now pay their bonuses? I've heard that many (?) banks are paying bonuses in January or even later nowadays ...
Ideally, I would like to see something like:
Goldman: January JPMorgan: September Morgan Stanley: October BAML: ....
Thanks so much.

IBD in London - When does your bank pay your bonus? (Originally Posted: 04/15/2014)
For lateral hiring, have heard the best time to be reaching to headhunters/recruiters is near when analyst bonuses are paid - as that's when a bunch of analysts quit and banks are looking to fill the gaps.
For people working in London, can you post when your bank tells you your bonus and when it gets paid? I understand there is typically a month lag or so between these dates
