Havas usually gives bonuses but it is at the discretion of your boss and not to be spoken about. Not everyone gets one. Sounds like you are everyone.

Yes. All but one year in my 12yrs in the industry so far. Many annual + many performance, including discretionary bonuses at agencies that had policies not to distribute bonuses.

2 jobs ago ( abt 6 yrs) at a non profit, I twice got a yearly bonus based on how well the company/ the Dept/i did. Never again since

Received a bonus every year in advertising. At least one per year, ranging from 3%-12% of my annual pay, both as performance bonus and spot bonuses. Ranged in titles from worker to manager to director.

Yes. Almost every year I have been in the industry. Just got a 9 month bonus that was 10% of my pay

@Edelman1, maybe it depends on the office. I got a bonus at my mid-year review last month.

Got a holiday bonus at a small boutique agency in 2009 that was later scooped up by a holding company. I imagine bonuses are like unicorns to us worker bees.

Yes, at 3 independent shops

I received a bonus last fall. Small, but nice surprise. Heard that was the last of the bonuses.

Once.

Sure

Once at a publisher.

Received a performance based one last year. Got taxed like crazy though. Was told about a month ago I'd get one this year as well and then they just gave me a raise instead.

Can now say I've got at least one at every agency I've ever worked at

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
