Wall Street Bonuses Soar, AI Looms
The prediction that Wall Street bonuses would soar while AI looms appears to be playing out. Multiple articles discuss Wall Street bonus season winners in banking and private equity, and a Bloomberg article specifically highlights AI consultants charging banks $25,000 per day — directly reflecting the tension between high compensation and heavy AI investment the prediction described. The evidence aligns with both the bonus surge and the active AI integration theme.
What would prove this wrong
Wall Street bonuses come in flat or down for the cycle, or if major financial firms show no discernible AI-driven changes to headcount or operations.
