Bonuses

The year has started off at a blistering pace, with numerous clients looking to attract and hire talent at all different levels. In addition to roles being open from last year, we’ve seen a number of new positons come up this year already, contradictory to usual January hiring trends.

Historically, January is a time where employers announce and pay bonuses with a hope to retain staff, which is the focus of the month, as opposed to focusing on new hires-but not this year. Roles in demand within global markets have been in Currencies/Foreign Exchange Sales, Electronic Execution (Equity) , Equity Research, and Structured Products Sales. Whereas on the Support, Regulatory and Technology side, we have seen high levels of demand for KYC/AML related specialists, Trade & Sales Support staff, Compliance Officers, and Developers (C++, Java and Python). 

Regarding bonuses for 2018, two of the tier 1 US banks were said to have paid out fairly generous bonuses (to top performers), while most of their competitors maintained a flat rate from last year, or slightly less as a whole. The general mood in the market has been of uncertainty, especially within equities, but other areas have remained positive.
