Investment bankers are expecting big bonuses in 2025 because their companies made a lot of money.
Even the newer and mid-level bankers are expected to get good bonuses.
More than 70 new employees were hired with salaries of ₹25–30 lakh, and their bonuses are expected to be at least as much as their fixed pay.
This is a great year for people working in investment banks!
Investment bankers expect record bonuses in 2025 due to a record $1.5 billion fee year.
Mid- and junior-level bankers are also expected to see relatively higher bonus payouts.
More than 70 freshers were hired through campus placements by leading global and domestic investment banks in 2025.
Average fixed salaries for new hires are ₹25–30 lakh, with bonuses expected to be at least equal to fixed pay.
