Bonus Watch ’13: Bank Of America

By

Apparently some did not fare as well as others.

From the front lines:

“Bonuses for first year associates bankers in consumer and retail group ranged from 25k-50k. Everyone is irate and morale is at an all time low.”

    So $40 to $45 bucks an hour (before federal, state, and city taxes*) assuming $125k base and a 75 hour work week. And a new round of layoffs approximately every 3 months. Sweet gig.

    *Not counting the 9% sales tax you'll encounter when you try to spend what's left over.

    Probably closer to 90 hours a week. Also, you need to factor in time and a half for anything over 40 hours, so closer to $25-$30 an hour on an hourly basis. Baml probably pays the IT staff and word processing better than that.

    No, stub year associates get paid $100k. They got bumped to $125k when they got their stub bonuses.

    I personally know the staff there well. What a bunch of depressed losers in that group. Perhaps it's because they work at BofAML…not JPM or GS. The VPs are a bunch of incompetent donkeys that went to inferior schools than their analysts and associates. That said, they treat them like dog piss. I rather jump in front of traffic than work in that group.

    What a pathetic display by a sub-par financial institution. A bunch I no talent ass-clowns are running that group. Having worked at BAML an left, I recommend to STAY AWAY. They treat their employees like shit and senior management is incompetent.

    "I recommend to STAY AWAY"
    And do go where, do what? Most of us just stay and hope things will turn around eventually

    this is a disgrace

    disgrace has nothing to do with it. if the bonuses prompt a wave of expensive departures, it will have been a bad business decision. if people grumble but stay, they'll confirm that it was a good business decision.
