From the mailbag:
Zee Germans at Deutsche are delaying IB analyst comp a month, with payouts coming Aug. 13.
Clearly this is being done to fight inevitable attrition and avoid making any kind of leadership move (and to ensure continued below Street comp). They didn’t even give a shitty excuse for why, besides admitting “to follow the rest of the Street.” Played flawlessly like a true second-tier shop.

Thank god the windows at 60 Wall don’t open…
“Played flawlessly like a true second-tier shop.”
So you knew it was second-tier when you joined and you’re now complaining?

Deutsche to analyst staff: see that sushi roll combo there? Go fetch.
The underlying message to 2nd yr analysts is that you are less valuable than you think. Maybe if you start adding value (or if you stop burning your VPs matcha), you will be promoted?
Just don’t mention the war.
1st year bonuses will be paid in license plates reading:
“DB – 1″
This would never happen at Raymond James.
@Covered..well played..
They are hoping to convince a couple of interns to stick around for half the price. The Germans can flush out some of dullards

I can guarantee that Goldman Sachs will not delay bonuses this year. Likely record bonuses again. Great job Blankfein.
Take comfort that you’re still number 1 in the goose stepping league tables and absolutely nothing else. With any luck people will not notice how over levered you are.

GS delayed bonuses, that’s why everyone else is delaying to make sure they are close or relatively close…
