City workers anticipate a doubly lucrative bonus season this spring, as payouts are set to be boosted by new rules allowing senior staff faster access to more of their money.
The coming bonus round will be the first to reflect regulatory changes that cut the length of bank bonus deferral periods. These were introduced last October, relaxing rules introduced after the financial crisis.
This has added to a broader mood of optimism among City professionals working in the financial sector and beyond — but how might your own payout measure up?
For the fifth successive year, the Financial Times bonus survey is asking readers confidentially to share their bonus round expectations and whether they intend to invest, save or spend any cash they are awarded.
The anonymous survey takes less than three minutes to complete, and can be accessed via this link.
