Stub bonus for Global Markets Analysts at BBs?

I’m keen to know a rough ballpark estimate of typical first year analyst at BB (especially interested in Citi) in sales & trading (global markets)? Does anyone here have any ball park idea of how much it could be (low-end, average, high-end numbers?!)?Cheers all in advance

Based on the most helpful WSO content, a stub bonus is a partial bonus given to new employees who haven't been at the firm for a full bonus cycle, typically analysts. While the context doesn't provide specific numbers for Citi or a general range for Global Markets Analysts at Bulge Bracket banks, it does mention that for DB Markets, Analyst 1 stub bonuses range from 20 - 25k, with non-equities potentially getting a bit extra. This information can give you a rough idea of what the market might be like, but for Citi-specific figures, you might want to look at more recent threads or data on WSO. Keep in mind that bonuses can vary widely based on market conditions, individual performance, and the bank's performance.

$15,000-$30,000 US depending on the bank’s performance that year. Everybody in the class gets the same. Would expect somewhere in the middle generally
