Yes, quite. I have a friend who was only 26/27 and took home 325,000 USD as his bonus.
Another is cagey about what he earns but it's stipulated he earns more than the number above.
Meanwhile another friend at a different hedge-fund had a budget over ~20k USD to decorate his personal office at work.
The excesses of finance are absolutely still alive and well but somehow the buy-side has managed to escape the public eye (presumably because they're mostly private)
