Obviously this depends on dealflow/other factors but what are the bucket ranges for analyst bonuses for top groups at EB’s (Does it range from 70-100% of normal salary which is 95k) ? How does EVR/PJT/LAZ determine who gets into the top bucket and how does this work if the analyst class is 5-7 people total (Does this create a toxic/competitive work environment)

PJT RX doesn't bucket, PJT M&A is much bigger than 7 people so no unique issues with competitive dynamics
What is the class size for the m&a group?
12-14 per year
~20, give or take
EVR doesn't really bucket. All bonuses within ~5k of each other.
Is this true of all their offices? (Houston Menlo NYC)
Yes
Can anyone speak to the bucket ranges for other boutiques (LAZ, CVP, MOE, PWP, GUGG, GHL, etc)?
Interested in MOE bonus structure for first year analysts as well
Deleted
From what I know, it varies greatly. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from secondhand knowledge, (normal year) bonus can range from 50k-110k. Obviously if an analyst shits the bed, the floor can be lower, but it's pretty hard to be ultra bottom bucket when all you are is an excel and powerpoint junkie.
We don’t really bucket (cvp/evr/pjt) will say my first year bonus was about ~80% of my salary though and had “top” reviews ($95k salary)
How many return offers are typically given to people in your group?
PJT doesn't really bucket either
Moelis/Lazard bucket 100%
Deleted
Moelis NY had someone make 200k all in (including signing bonus) and also had someone make 140k (This number is anecdotal) so quite a big range
PJT and EVR Usually pay similar bonuses -- neither really bucket analysts. first year analysts usually get full year bonuses around 80-95k bringing all in first year comp to around 180k.
would this include the signing bonus?
Signing is another 10 - 25k
Can confirm this - also I've heard MOE buckets analysts into multiple sub-buckets (for eg there's a top of middle bucket, and top of top buckets) so bonuses can vary wildly. The top of top can hit 100k plus but I'd say the mean bonus is closer to 65k, so I'd say EVR/PJT is a better deal.
Not sure why you got MS this is facts
Anyone know if this applies for other MOE offices besides NY (LA/SF/HOU/CHI/BOS)
Imagine the hours of the top of the top. I feel sorry for them
anyone know about some of the banks that haven’t been mentioned ? (PWP/GHL/GUGG)
^^^bump
This thread is about ELITE BOUTIQUES bro.
jfc i was clearly being sarcastic you semi target goons
Do high bonuses favor those from elite undergrads/M7 MBA or is it solely based on performance?
