As the 2025 bonus season approaches, a new survey is inviting professionals in financial services to share their bonus expectations. With bonus announcements still a few months away, the survey aims to capture how confident or uncertain people feel about their upcoming compensation.

The survey is positioned as a way to support greater pay transparency across the industry. Participants are asked about their expectations for bonuses and are also invited to provide limited background information, such as their role and area of the business. This demographic context is intended to help interpret the results more accurately across different functions and seniority levels.

Participation is completely anonymous, which is designed to encourage honest responses without concern about identification or professional consequences. The organizers plan to publish aggregated results later in the year, offering insight into sentiment across the industry ahead of actual bonus announcements.

Overall, the survey reflects a period of anticipation and anxiety that typically precedes bonus season. By gathering expectations in advance, it aims to provide a clearer picture of how employees are feeling about pay prospects and whether optimism or caution is more widespread across financial services.
