Anyways, let me add to the numbers. Up to you to decide if its true or not.
Equity Research. 28yrs old

Bonus this year hopefully is my job.
Reality check.

Unfortunately, due to weak markets, most ib are not making much in equities and are downsizing. Equity research is usually 1st to get the axe as being non revenue generating
Look at rbs, they are selling off equities business to cimb.
Only bright spot in equities is prime brokerage.
Other business is still okay like fx, rates and commodities - bonus is still decent but not 2-3yrs of base in pre financial crisis
