Is this jef?
Where is this?
Thought jef paid higher bonuses if AN1s were clearing 200-250 when base was 85k?
This still gets you to 225k on the upper end. Just trying to be conservative here. Plus I don’t think any bank will keep the bonus percentage the same - i think it’s at-least partly moving bonus to base.
How common is it to make that range as an Analyst 1?
Curious to know if bonus is usually dictated as a % of base (50% to 70%) in the offer letter or if the offer letter simply states there is a bonus and you are looking at historical percentages.
BB offer letter doesn't have a % of base, just that there is incentive comp etc.

Keep in mind, COL in Chicago (assuming this is where he's at) is about 30% lower than NYC. So not as boned as it sounds I guess.
Is this in Chicago, or a lower col state like in Michigan or Ohio?
