I don't get why this is a bad thing if we've done a busy season and pretty much earned it

Stay for it. Not even a question. Firms expect people leaving after a bonus payout.

like

Not tacky at all. It's a performance based bonus based on PAST performance. You worked he hours, you earned the bonus. Won't hurt any chances to boomerang either. Happens all the time. Get paid what you worked hard to earn!

like

It's a two way street. You earned it so you can wait for it then leave. The firms wait to payout as a retention mechanism but they know it's not a bulletproof retention program....they just hope you stay another busy season (in the case of PwC paying out Sept-30).

like

Yep, you earned it during the last year. It is not for the future work you're gonna do. I would comment that it's going to be around $4,000 and after taxes closer to $2000, so is it worth it to wait 3 months for $2000 in cash??

I would say it's tacky to stay for the bonus and leave but lots of people do it. And generally I would stay for the bonus if I knew I was going to leave - but don't expect a warm welcome if you think you would ever boomerang

New manager bonuses get paid out in April. A new manager who got his bonus in April quit yesterday. It happens all the time.

If you can negotiate a sign-on due to the fact that you'd leave before the bonus pay-out then just do that... hopefully you'll start sooner at a higher salary as well (presuming you are staying in the workforce and getting a bump in pay).

like

Yes people do wait around and no its not worth it if you are giving up something. If you know you want to leave start looking. Chances are it will take long enough youll get the bonus and split. if you already have an offer and you want it take it. there is always something that is dangled whether its bonuses, holidays or not burning bridges.
