Career Resources
Base is 85k ~ 100k for all desks if you are a junior analyst.
I'd assume bonus is heavily correlated with desk's PnL?
Yes if you are a trader, no if you are in support functions
No, % of salary.
Yes, but no. Many firms (banks, large institutions) structure it so there isn’t a huge variation between desks. Smaller shops/traders there is a lot of variability and % tied to PnL.

How long did it take you to get a seat and what type of firm are you at? (bank, prop shop, major etc.)

That's a great number for a 1st year trader - roughly on par with what banks pay their Associates (2-3 yrs exp)
~4 years, started in ops at a major
Base salary in Switzerland:
Junior traders: CHF 100-130k
Junior operators: CHF 70-95k
