US IB Analyst 2 Bonus Expectation 2023

Folks,If your bank has announced bonus expectations for Analyst 2 class that is about to leave your firm in June, could you please share the info? Even if it is just an educated guess, that is always helpful too.I am a middle market bank and I do not have enough information to guess what we would be paid out before we leave. I am laterally recruiting at the moment and recruiters have asked about my bonus expectation in case the next firm wanted me to leave before my bonus payout date. I just could not give a benchmarking number since I do not want to misspeak.Any inputs and guidance are much appreciated. Thanks!

Because it doesn’t matter if you personally worked on multiple closed deals or if your group specifically performed and made money for the bank. You’ll get the same bad bonus as the analysts that have sat around for a year and whose group hasn’t done anything.

I will say that luck plays a role and it isn’t the tmt analysts fault that their industry is slow right now. Obviously in prior years their performance has driven up bonuses for everyone.
