Are you interested in tech? If so, switch your degree to computer science related…maybe Informatics or Computer Science. Then get into tech roles which pays more than any industry around. Even a business degree with a minor in CS will give you so much opportunities.

Don’t forget to connect with your school’s Career Development office for internships. Companies often post job openings/opportunities in schools and these aren’t posted publicly.

Is this okay?

Hello FishBowl,

I’m in the final rounds of my interview process for a NYC Hedge fund, non tech role. The recruiter mentioned the compensation package is bonus heavy which can be multiples of base salary. Though they will guarantee a full bonus (sign on + year end) for my first year. 300k target

My current role/company is salary focused so I’m out of my element negotiating the bonuses.

What type of questions should I ask the recruiter about the bonus payouts? Vesting?
