Comparing Wall St. Bonuses? There's an App for That It's a ritual as old as Wall Street. Come bonus time, employees furtively compare their pay to see how they measure up. But a new iPhone app has given the practice a decidedly modern spin. The app, "Banker's Bonus 2013," which was released over the weekend, allows a banker (or really anyone) to enter a bonus amount and see how it ranks among others around the world. The app includes a "league table," showing bonuses that others have supposedly submitted. On Thursday, most employees at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will learn how much they made in 2012 compensation. Goldman Sachs employees are feeling optimistic, but the mood at Morgan Stanley is more dour, DealBook's Susanne Craig reported. Hat tip to William Wright of Financial News for noticing the app. One caveat for anyone thinking of using the app: There is no verification process for the submissions. Still, it may offer some amusement to Wall Street's younger set. Michael Lewis, in his book "Liar's Poker," described the situation in the pre-iPhone days of the 1980s: Bonus day, when it arrived, was a enthralling reprieve from my daily routine of chatting with investors and placing bets in the markets. Watching the faces of other people as they emerged from their meetings was worth a thousand lectures on the meaning of money in our small society.
