Barclays Capital lived up to its reputation of being good payers in the bonus stakes. The firm's bonus pool is said to have been $1.9bn, which represented 38% of Barclays Capital's total costs last year. The average bonus is said to have been $436,000, with BarCap boss Bob Diamond bagging $26.1m.
And Deutsche Bank had a big bonus pot in 2005 too. According to German magazine Der Spiegel, Deutsche paid out $6.6bn to investment banking staff for 2005, over a third of the unit's revenues. The 2005 pot is said to have been 21% up on the year before, meaning that each of Deutsche's 13,492 investment banking staff got an average wad of $492,000.
But remember, for every Goldman, BarCap and Deutsche, there were firms that still paid out peanuts for last year - and even doughnuts!
