Boring, financially conservative advice coming in hot...I would advise not thinking about a bonus as play money and instead allocate it the same way you do the rest of your comp. Max out retirement, put the rest into HY savings or ETFs.

This is incredibly boring, excellent advice.

Donate 2-5% and spend rest on things you wanted to purchase since long time . You are right person to figure out what you need and not 🐠 ‘s

Stocks or a watch, as mentioned here. Depending on the size of your bonus both? Assuming you’re a guy, stainless steel Rolexes basically retain their values forever.

I get it completely, I have an Explorer 38 on a Nato right now. I wear it to work now as a mainstay.

Rolex makes the greatest metal bracelets by a large margin in my opinion.

Omega ftw on dive deployment style bands

Telecom stocks!

How much of your bonus are you planning to spend? Knowing the dollar amount will allow people to make better suggestions.

Somewhere around 1,000

At 1k I’d buy a stock like WMT or Dunkin which are healthy and pay predictable dividends.

Watch at that price point if that is something you are looking at, I’d go for a used Longines like the Conquest or an automatic Field Watch from Longines Heritage or Mont Blanc which you may find at a bit more $$$ but are great value.

Does UX have any value or it's just drafting wireframes based on ideations by the managers and then UI designs?
