Ready to kickstart your week with a little Wall Street drama? JPMorgan, that swanky bank on Wall Street, has dished out some serious cash to its top-tier UK investment bankers!
With an eye-popping 19% raise, these UK banksters are now receiving an average bonus of a jaw-dropping $974,000. If you're wondering why, let's delve into the nitty-gritty.
In 2024, the investment banking sector saw a surge in M&A (mergers and acquisitions) and capital markets activity. JPMorgan was right smack in the middle of it, raking up some hefty revenues.
