Bonus Ballpark for Budget/Expenses

Hello--

I am sure there is a thread on this but I couldn't find anything recent. I understand how bonuses fluctuate based on performance and firm and desk. I will be a 1st year analyst starting in July, and I am looking to budget for rent and expense of living.


I can't ask my network about bonus numbers because that wouldn't be kosher, so I refer to WSO.


Can anyone ballpark bonus $value or % for American BBs for 1st year analyst next year? Or is this impossible to predict? 

Thank you for the help
