Getting my first massive performance bonus at my new firm soon. I've gotten bonuses before at my previous firm but they weren't really huge. This one is, to me. I'll be having the manager conversation around the pay out late next week.

How do you all react to the compensation readout from your manager? Non-chalant, and a simple thank you? Excited? Grateful?

What would you normally say?

I usually say "that's a little less than I expected", then they promise to make it up to me next time and then we both move on.

Hmm, not sure how to position my mouth to say this 😂

Let’s talk about how much you’re getting. :)

Oh please do share.

Depending on your relationship with manager, company performance, economic outlook in your industry, etc. could be worth it to ask “what do I need to do across next year to get X% more”?

Helps force the conversation to develop a playbook for you to follow next year, and indirectly sets a floor for next year’s payout.

Excellent! Thank you!

If you’re happy, just “I appreciate it”

Thank you.

I think this should honestly depend on what the numbers are. Maybe less so for you, but people that have been in consulting for a while should know what a good bonus is (and what isn't). I think the non-chalant or I appreciate it works generally, but if it is big, I would recognize that. They know where it stands relative to others and what you normally get.

Thank you.

My plan this year is to just nod and say okay

But to be fair, I should have been promoted last year, so I'm not going to behave as if this is filling me with joy unbounded

Fair enough!

How big of a bonus are we talking about, out of curiosity? Like $400,000? More, less?

What! 😂😂
If I get $400k, I'd quit my job the next day haha. It's probably peanuts for y'all but huge for me.
Who gets $400k in bonuses anyway!

What’s the range if not exact numbers? Can tell you exactly how id react based on that.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
