Normalized bonus size

We saw some very nice bonuses during Covid-19 where many banks handed out +100% bonuses. Now we're seeing the opposite of that, with rumours of some banks only handing out 20-30% bonuses. 

What would a normalized bonus range be for a mid-bucket analyst / associate? Curious to hear from people with longer experience that have been around long enough to have a view.
