I understand that the typical compensation at a proprietary trading firm is something like:
$base + $cash bonus = $total compensation
I'd love to hear from recent employees at some of the more established proprietary trading firms as to how often full bonuses are granted. In recent years, has it been pretty much every year?
Also, do some firms include more bonus if they do well?

2008 was that kinda year. Otherwise it was pretty stable.
Unlike two sigma, Citadel doesn't need a soft way to tell you to leave. So if you survived the year - your getting a bonus.
Like what’s the avg case look like
