Anyone got numbers? I hear Lazard 's been killing it as usual.
Are Bankers Destroying Capitalism?
Are bankers destroying capitalism? It was certainly the populist pulpit preaching point of the moment a few years ago, but I didn’t buy it. After all, my sworn enemy had always been the inept regulatory structure; unwilling to put the foot down on the bad kids in the class. Frankly, why would...
Bonus when leaving mid year
Hey guys When you leave a firm mid year, what is the norm for requesting your accumulated bonus? Do you ask you current firm for x number of months you worked or do you ask you new firm to cover the bonus your missing out on?? Or worse do you leave money on the table and suck it up bc of the better...
No bonus mentioned?
Hi guys, Just recently got an offer for investment banking at a regional boutique. While it certainly isn't what I had in mind when I first started networking, after everything I've gone through in my job search, I'm certainly happy to have an offer. :) Question though, I know this isn't a BB or...
BB is offering us housing but I'm not taking it. Will they take my bonus away?
I'm at a BB for SA . They are offering us housing at a local place in NYC . In my contract I get a 'relocation bonus' I'm declining their housing offer since I dont need it. So does that also mean I get my relocation bonus taken away from me?
Relocation bonus for internship?
Read my offer letter and it said I'm eligible for a relocation bonus. However, I wont be relocating for the internship. Do I still get the money or will I have to return it to them?
Hedging Your Bonus
I had to stop and think about this one for a few minutes. Eric Dash wrote this piece for Dealbook outlining how partners at Goldman Sachs (among other banks) have been hedging the non-cash portions of their bonuses since 2007. On the surface, it looks like an attempt to circumvent the "safeguards"...
ER Bonuses: 2012
How'd everyone do this go around? I get a sense that the street was very tough this year but all of the focus is on IBD and not ER so there's very few data points. I think it's helpful to collect as much comp info as possible to understand the health of our business and also for people to know...
Bonus Reforms
I dont know the situation in the US, but here in the UK every politician and the general public are crying out for all bankers to have their bonuses withdrawn, and many are actually not taking them due to the political and public pressure. This lead me to think; does the current bonus system need...
Hedge Funds versus Bank Trading - Bonuses versus Total Compensation
When trading at a bank is it standard to be paid a percentage of your book as total compensation or do you receive a percentage of your book as a bonus? I know at hedge funds your salary is treated as an expense and subtracted out of your bottom line, but do banks operate in the same fashion e.g. at...
Sign-On Bonus Used to Repay Undergrad Loans
I received a 10k sign on bonus from a consulting firm I will be starting at in the Fall. They already took out taxes, so its like $6,xxx. Can I ask the company to take this un-deposited check back and have them pay $10k directly to my loan company (with whom I have more than $10k in loans)? That way...
Rolling a Donut
If there's one thing that gets bankers up in arms this time of year it's the notion of rolling a donut. Imagine working all year long and not being handed an envelope at bonus time. That seems to be the big fear on the Street this year, with upper management at many banks preparing their employees...
Millions for Billions
Everyone has a part of their job that sucks , no matter how satisfied they are overall. When it comes to my work here at WSO , this is the part of the job that sucks.

Stanford MBA baller lands $675K offer
Yowza! This includes a guaranteed bonus of around $500K. Not sure if this person will get a discretionary annual bonus on top of that, but either way, it's a sick offer. Apparently, the job is with a "hedge fund in the northeast." My guess is it's one of paulson, soros, och-ziff, viking, or baupost....

It's June 1st, kids, and that means it's crunch time. Only one month left to sacrifice blood, sweat, and tears in a mad dash for the top bucket.

London M&A Associate Compensation
The Cornell Partnership just released it's report on M&A Associate compensation. The sample size is several hundreds, so I'd imagine it's fairly accurate.
