How much do you consider deferred comp in new job opp? Getting offers with only a base increase of like 15% but promising huge potential in bonuses. Makes me so weary

Weary (tired) or wary (skeptical)?

You’re talking about variable comp, not deferred comp. they are two different things.

I disregard all variable comp promises. Deferred but guaranteed comp is considered, but not for monthly expenses.

Just ask for average bonus not top end.

It’s kind of silly to disregard - it’s a huge part of the comp pool in a lot of orgs. As you get more senior it can be tied to specific KPIs too, which makes it clear when you get paid - then just ask for a track record of how often those have been met in the past.

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

Product Manager in SLC average? Well established tech company

So I recently accepted a 12 month contract-hire position at a much larger company. Pay is more than 50% of my salary, and benefits/401k is covered by the recruiting agency. I was confident in my now manager, who told me directly this will become a permanent role. However, i’m nervous about where the economy is going to be within the next year, and after getting a few linked in messages to interview for full time positions, I’m starting to second guess myself. Thoughts? Advice?
