Wall Street Firms Said to Weigh Freezing Pay Increases for Junior Bankers

This is what is happening inside the BBs right now (definitely sounds like this is being considered at my bank, at least the guys I talk to seem to think management is probably interested in lowering comp for vp and lower). Bonuses are going to be down 40 - 50% this year and now they are going to try start squeezing base pay.

This is how they lower expectations about comp on the Street. Somebody leaks it to the press. This softens the eventual blow - a few weeks from now when thousands of bankers are told they got tiny bonuses and also no raise, oh and, you're going to be working much longer hours next year because we are firing twenty percent of the staff including a few guys from your sector.
