Bonus Comps

After a record breaking year, bonus season is upon us.

Wanted to get a thread going to share what firms are paying so we can see which are lowballing the juniors.

If you guys got your numbers, please disclose in the following fashion:

  • Bank (Specific Bank Disclosure Encouraged)

  • Group (Coverage, Product, etc)

  • Position (Analyst 1, Analyst 2, Associate 1, etc)

  • Rating (Top, Mid, Bottom)

  • Bonus Amount 

Look forward to hearing from all of you!
