Bonuses announced today!

[sasguru]

I tried my best, but compared to you, I'm like a candle against the midday sun.

Or a fart in a hurricane.

[shaunbhoy]

maybe I can increase my £50K motor budget.

Forget the motor budget sg, get yourself a life!

I've never had a perm job but currently out of contract since 2 weeks and the rates aren't looking too clever.
A pimp wants to put me forward at 90k sterling plus bonus in a London bank.
What kind of bonus can a senior techie realistically get ?
Are we talking nothing, 5 grand or 50 ?

Is there are forum for City workers ?
I've googled.

It can vary a lot....probably somewhere in between. 90 k sounds like a 14 hour a day job, plus weekends.

I have to point out, I've never worked in the City, but in this European bank I work in, there's a lot of City refugees.

Depends on what you mean by "techie".
Credit Risk, Basle 2, Sarbanes Oxley skills are in high demand allied with SAS/statistics skills.
Standard .Net and Java developers - I don't know about.
£90K for a pure play techie role sounds high, but is not exceptional at management level - if you are key (and here perception matters ) then half your salary again as a bonus is about normal.
