Danger of deferred compensation
Big banks really had little choice but to defer compensation to some degree for 2011. The disappointment felt by employees was acute, but these are hardly good times. Management had to do something. But no good deed goes unpunished.

Where to make the really big bucks?
So how is the $500,000 cap on executive pay going over in the industry? To be honest, it really doesn't affect that many people. Traders, bankers and the like all still qualify to make more than that. It's really only the top dogs at TARP banks that are capped.
