Do bonuses exist in this industry? I’ve gotten small ones but my corporate friends get 20-40k a year. Does that exist and project management just gets shafted?

I’ve never heard of anyone in this business getting a bonus like that (not any of the people that do the actual work, at least). Most I’ve ever personally got was around $5k, and that was one time in my 16 years in the business. I’ve gotten a few $2k bonuses here and there too.

I’d guess C-suite + executive levels get much bigger bonuses, but I have no insight there.

About 3 years ago I got 20k bonus. Private company. Have never gotten more than 3k at holding companies.

I barely got anything at holding companies myself. Coming in house though, bonuses are way more generous

Sheesh. Good for you.
