bar
n.— «For second and third year associates it gets even rosier; you can easily make a bar [Wall Street slang for million] in total compensation. One of my friends recently got in at ML Canada. Nice pay! 5-figure signing bonus, and 80K base salary with 20% bonus on top of that. Talk about a killing! And these are starting salaries of course.» —“Buy Manhattan Real Estate Now, Before the Class of ‘06 Does” by Yaser Anwar SeekingAlpha Nov. 24, 2006. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
