For PubFin?? That’s not terrible at all.
Not bad at all during the analyst program, but bonus is pre mediocre as you move up the ladder
Yeah, hopefully one can lateral to something better by that point. I will be pretty happy if I get even half that bonus , my expectations are a little low.
How is your bonus compared to the bonuses of traditional IB analysts at your bank?
