So let's assume the median on the spreadsheet is correct,

If thats the case, what could we expect other first year buckets to come in at? Typical $5k per bucket, or will we see $10k, given the much larger number to work with.

If that was the case, the bonus for the average analyst would be roughly in line with top of the range for last year's first years, correct?

ibanalystbonuses last year were seperated by $10K - could be a larger difference this year like $15K

i think we'll see the band remain 20k with a 10k differential.

 
ibanalystas far as i know, theres typically 3 tiers, but the 3rd (or 4th) tier bonuses could vary from 10-15K below 2nd tier to $0 even.

Thanks.
