I can give you the number but think you will find it depressing :-) Top bucket doesn't mean much for a first year. And you likely won't make top bucket, right?

 

I'm just curious as to what a top bucket derivatives trader at one of those three firms would make first year all in, regardless of how depressing it may be haha
