Alvarez & Marsal Can someone at Alvarez & Marsal help me better understand the bonus concept? Trying to understand the flow between bonus tier 1, tier 2, and stay bonus.

- what determines if something is a tier 2 versus a stay bonus?
- is there a specific $ threshold that these are triggered stay bonuses triggered
- are stay bonuses applicable to MD’s as well?
- if you quit do you forfeit these future stay bonuses or have to pay them back?

Stay bonus is only triggered if your total comp calculation for the year exceeds $750k. You receive 50% of the amount over $750k in the year earned, but the remaining 50% is deferred and paid ratable over the next 3 years. You forfeit deferred comp when you quit, unless you retire, in which case you can get it paid out. Never heard of the tiered bonuses either.

And the stay bonus doesn’t apply if you own equity which is only for the MDs

What group? Never heard of this concept before.

Hi Fishes,

I have given my interview in HCL and cleared 1 TP, 1 hcl manager & Client TP and Client Manager rounds .
In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .
I have 9.5 years total experience and role is Storage Architect.
Thanks
