All of this is from Page C1 of today's WSJ.

"investment bankers and traders can expect 10% to 20% higher year-end bonuses -- roughly the same increase as last year."

"Bonuses will rise 15% to 20%, according to estimates in a study to be released this week by Options Group, a New York-based executive-search firm. Another survey, by compensation consultants Johnson Associates Inc., puts the bonus increase at 10% to 15%."

"For senior bankers with the title of managing director, this will translate into an average pay range of $2.2 million to $3.8 million, according to the Options Group report. For entry-level analysts fresh out of college, it means $130,000 to $150,000."
