            Junior staff members only get things after senior members have enough. And they never have enough.
            Working with traders with the best Sharpe ratios around requires the best of the best.

            Admittedly my bonus looks like a kings ransom compared to IB levels, but I am not happy.

              So did you actually get a bonus then. I thought "doughnut" was a term meaning zero bonus.

                You are right. By hedge fund standards it was a doughnut though.

                    Seek out the top performing traders mentioned above, open a spreadbet account and start copying their trades. Heck, it's probably against your contract, maybe even illegal, but it might be the best bonus you ever get.

                      Nice advice that can make somebody go to jail and spend the rest of their life begging for money because nobody would employ ex-con in any decent job.

                      Hardly suprising that you are among those whom HMRC is trying to make pay the tax that every honest person pays.
