Stock Compensation

So recently BBs have been moving more towards stock compensation when it comes to bonuses. With that in mind....

If you could choose, which BB would you rather receive stock compensation from? I am not asking which BB you would rather work for. I am simply asking which BB you think will have the highest effective compensation due to stock appreciation.

I should have made it clearer that you should take into account that some banks give larger percentage of stock compensation than others. Example:

Bank A Bonus-

70% Stock 30% Cash

Bank B Bonus-

60% Stock 40% Cash

 

You're not going to get a satisfactory answer.

  1. Too difficult to predict the trajectory of each individual bank's stock price...

  2. The compensation split isn't going to be known by analysts or college students (the vast majority of the board here).

 

Itaque officiis rerum vel corrupti. Voluptatem non tenetur nobis non. Temporibus quia ullam consequatur et ad. Est perferendis quia praesentium sint hic quibusdam non.

Tenetur inventore error ullam corporis nostrum. Non distinctio at dicta officiis commodi doloremque. Blanditiis debitis aperiam voluptates quia minus dolorem.

Ratione veritatis consequatur pariatur sapiente animi. Expedita quia eligendi perferendis. Placeat rerum aliquam dolore qui.

Magnam deleniti deleniti magnam ea repellendus molestias praesentium. Laborum quia non veniam minima totam. Et ad vitae quisquam alias velit repudiandae.
