Jan 1st

At my former agency, it was around the first week of May. My current employer pays them in January. I guess it just depends on fiscal year.

Wouldn’t your agency tell you if you were or we’re not getting one?

No, and we usually tell you not to tell anyone you got one because not everyone did.

We do 2 rounds a year for promotions and raises

March. Even if it’s being paid out in July (why is that a thing now!?!), they tell you in March.
Sorry, boo.

The day you start working as a creative.

I finaly got a $7,800 bonus for Christmas but it was added under my paycheck and taxes basically took all of it lol

That's a nice Christmas bonus! 👍

End of April but given your title you more than likely know if the company is healthy enough to give one

Yes usually. Most close by mid March
