Ok, fair point. Not the sort of analyst I was thinking of.

I wouldn't have thought a BA would have got more than say 60K - but then again I'm not a BA so may be talking tulip

Sorry ?! A data analyst on probably £20K tops a year, or a contractor on £350 / day on 12 month contract...

Unless his bonus was £80,000 than I would be surprised

Really? I'd be surprised if an analyst didn't make several times as much as you before his bonus

Maybe he was just humouring you.

Permie IB staff I know are getting a 2% increase with a less than 10% bonus.

"2% is in line with inflation"

"2%? what country are you basing that on?"

...my friend gave. He resigned the next day.

I want to make him as paranoid and uncomfortable as possible.

I'm thinking of:

"Whatever. I couldn't give a toss really beause

1. You've given me a salary 20% more than I asked for. Idiot.

2. I'm skilling up and will be out of here by this time next year.
"

Studious silence while looking someone in the eye is a good way to make someone paranoid and uncomfortable; it makes them talk more and more and try to justify everything they say.

I remember at the last gig, one of the permie analysts was trying to rub it in my face about his annual bonus.

I replied, "I'm a contractor, every week has a bonus for me!"

Soon shut him up!

Might I suggest, reading between the lines, you consider spending your bonus on a psychotherapist.

You appear to have "issues".

Men both lie about the size of them
