Firms Lure Bankers With Bonus Guarantees

摘要

Leverage is back on Wall Street-and now it's the bankers who have it.

"Candidates are now getting multiple offers, and companies risk losing their desired candidates if they don't act quickly enough," says Constance Melrose, managing director of eFinan-cialCareers North America, whose employment website has seen a 75 percent increase in investment banking job postings from a year earlier.
