What is the ACTUAL expected all-in comp for analysts?

Getting antsy about bonuses. Is this WSO link accurate? Can we really expect bonuses to be 50-100% of base?

https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/resources/careers…

The bonus range strikes me as too high, especially the lower end being 50%. Can any older bankers chime in on what typical bonuses ranges were like historically? I know it obviously depends on the bank, but it'd be nice to get some data points.

Those numbers are based on lower base salaries ($85k) and this year has been a down year for IB revenue.

Bonuses are variable across street (EBs are higher) but your typical BB is not giving 100% of the new base levels to 1st year analysts, even in a great year. I'd ballpark 50%-80% for a first year analyst on the new bonuses, depending on IB performance. If IB is way up or way down, those numbers could flex a bit. I know of mid-bucket analysts who got 40k at BB in a record year last year, so bonuses are really never guaranteed
