I definitely think this year was rather high for bonuses, spurred on by a ascending market no doubt. It'll be in decline in the next few years, I think.

 

I agree..this year was inflated in terms of bonus numbers (although justified)

I just hope the numbers stay static for a few more years (although I think my prediction of a 10k drop per year is on the optimistic side).
