Regional Bonus

So let's clear this up, and please answer if you have first hand knowledge of this... Are regional bonuses, specifically Houston and Chicago, lower than those in NYC?

Bonuses should be the same, regardless of office - at least this is what the firms say.

Speaking to current analysts on the West coast, it seems that NYC paid 80k for year end and people in SF and LA got paid 70k. I'm not sure about Houston and Chicago, but they probably got the same bonuses as other regionals.

So it's only a 10k difference, which doesn't matter in the long run. Also, keep in mind that in NYC, that extra 10k burns really fast after taxes and a higher cost of living.
