What are you trying to get at? See if you’re getting screwed on base comp? Comp is driven by pnl which makes comparisons a useless exercise
Not at all. Just seeing where the market is at these days and for general transparency!
Not really sure what you’re expecting and what seniority, but it’s going to be a lot of 150-200k base and x% points on book which can be very subjective. The real question should be: var, seat cost, points
110k base / 75k bonus - 2yrs working at a prop firm
This is where i would benchmark ABC in Midwest US, LCOL cities
2-3 YOE 85k + 15-25k bonus
5-6 YOE 150k + 35-50k bonus
That number sounds much smaller than I thought!
Thats a low cost of living city in the midwest, not a number in like NYC or anything. Bonus numbers are a little low on that, if you leave for a non ABC you can make a real bonus
Nick O'Kane at Macquarie made more than Jamie Dimon

So if you make 10mil in pnl, is you bonus 500k (10mil * .15) - 1mil seat cost = bonus?
(pnl- seat cost) * percent book
1) that includes flow?
2) phys/fin?
3) hf or trade shop?
