I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?

At least where I have worked, a lot of people are OOO during this time of year so hiring slows pretty drastically. It will pick back up in January or February!

Not uncommon at the banks I've worked for to slow hiring or even pull reqs and institute hiring freezes in Q4 (especially towards the very end). Just stay on it.

I agree Dec is a slow month with people taking vacations, you may see some pick up in the new year

Good point

Not to mention everyone in HR that needs to sign off on anything is preoccupied with open enrollment.

How I made the jump than waiting for bonus

I meant I just made the move. I’d rather have my sanity than money

I’m curious why you’re seeking out a similar role when you’re obviously not happy in your current job? What is it that makes you beyond ready to leave?
