I want to start a thread that discusses the discretionary part of the bonus (including cash, stock, options and etc). Schools generally do not include them in their employment data - which makes sense as these data are probably difficult to collect and vary from person to person. However, does anyone have any information on the "average" bonus we can expect from different employers / sectors? I am particularly interested in technology employers - more mature ones like Google and Microsoft, currently "hotter" / higher growth ones like Apple and Facebook and startups that are more mature like Dropbox and Twitter. I did not include younger startups as these do not usually offer H-1B to international students. In terms of function, I am looking at marketing, strategy and corporate development type of jobs.

I will start by providing some information on the financial services sector from my personal experience:

Investment banking (IBD): My info here is a bit outdated as I left the industry 3 years ago, but during my years (2008-2011), average associate bonus (1st year) would be around 100%-150% of base salary, so US$100K-150K. However, with the base increase and bonus cutting over the past few years, this number seems to have gone down significantly

Private Equity (LBO): For a PE fund, bonus varies significantly across funds, depending on size of the fund, performance and etc, but generally for a large fund, bonus should be around 100% of base. Many US funds do not give carried interest to associates, with the exception of Bain Capital. Some local funds like FountainVest and MBK do. Carried interest does make a difference - a 2-3x exit may give you an extra 20K-40K bump

Fund of PE funds: Bonus VERY standard / stable at 50% of base. Usually no carried interest for associates
