Heard AS1 bonus was ~$200k
Seems a bit low given "strong numbers"
Can anyone confirm the 200k number? Did any As1 clear 400k?
The number is ok for A2As, literally for associates who only did 2 years of analyst stint. But the majority to my knowledge has to spend 3 years as an analyst like Evercore, which changes the context of this and historically Moelis had a (maybe I'm wrong) 2 years analyst program.
One of the factors that attracted candidates to Moelis was that all-in comp for top buckets was generally above or at least on par with Evercore but I am guessing maybe not nowadays.
Yeah i don't think 2 year a2a is as guaranteed these days. Who knows if 200k comment above is accurate. Saw on mega thread bonus of 150 with 175 base so assuming that was moelis as well.
damn so hypothetically a third year (out of undergrad) is associate 1 at moelis with 175k base and supposedly 200k bonus? and i assume there's an a2a bonus? that's lit 2 year program goated.
If you’re anything other than middle bucket, you can’t post your number because it’s too identifying. For those of you who don’t realize this or refuse to believe it, HR and ops people at all your banks look at WSO.
not if you say my buddy got $x and i think he was [ ] bucket
Heard assoc bonuses in the range of 90-140%
When will the bonus hit bank accounts?
100%-120% for AS1s in our group NYC
You guys are so stupid - stop making individual bonus threads and post your numbers on the main bonus thread. It’s what it is there for now. We now have like 10 different threads and very little data points - delete this
