Do you feel bonuses are an important part of compensation? I know it’s discretionary, but in my mind I almost expect it even if it’s a little, and if it doesn’t get paid of then I’m disappointed

Not only bonuses but equity. When I left my previous job in cpg, my total comp was ~$175k but after moving to tech into a lateral role, I made the same the first year but 2 years in I’m making ~$100k more because of the stock and because our bonuses were funded 2x this year. It’s important.

Wow that’s significant!

I've always considered the impact of bonuses whenever I've looked for a new job. In some industries it's not a big deal and they're not really traditional. But in finance and other areas they matter a lot, and if a firm has a good year they can really amount to something. I've never gotten the kind of bonus where you run out and buy a new car, but I've had some nice ones.

I enjoy bonuses. However, since bonuses aren’t guaranteed, I need my regular compensation to be enough to live off of. Because if I don’t hit my bonus, I need to not go into debt because of that.

That’s what I think too

Very important

It makes me feel really good though and I miss the high, I am grateful that I can resist it now but at least temporarily it was a cure that worked it made me feel accepted and whole.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
