Heard today the analysts at Piper in Chicago were getting 2 months severance plus $55K for a bonus. I got this information second hand, so I cannot confirm the number, but my source is fairly solid.
I don't know if this applies just to first years, or all analysts in general. Either way, have to feel bad for them.
(also can assume Piper is predicting $55K as the standard for bottom-to-mid bucket bonuses this year, likely for first years)
