OK. At 31, you're fine, but still you're not an outstanding performer. At BB investment banks, you can tell you are average when your bonus is less than your salary. I would judge from your base you're probably at Associate or Senior Associate level. If you get promoted to VP, you would be at around $200K base, but most of us really don't care about what our base is. It's all about the bonus. Watch out though. CS and Deutsche are already cutting.

You might consider that your sideline business might be affecting your performance. Managers can tell when you're not putting in 200%. At the end of the day, if you want to earn those $1m jobs in banking you have to put in everything you've got and not be distracted. Sidelines are peanuts compared to the potential compensation.
