I noticed that my job didn’t come with any kind of bonuses apart from potential yearly pay rise that we currently haven’t received. Has anyone tried negotiating on just receiving bonuses when all else failed?

I feel like, if a company doesn't have a bonus structure that they are open about at the beginning, it's basically impossible to negotiate it after you're hired. I've never gotten bonuses at any of my jobs and it's never even been part of the conversation in any of my negotiations. Maybe it's just part of my industry?

Yeah I can’t imagine it being easy to even have the conversation where I work which is a shame.

If no one mentioned a bonus during the interview process and onboarding it's probably not something that's on the table. Some organizations will give a holiday bonus, which can be aligned with someone's salary. If there was a substantial bonus based on performance it's likely you would have been made aware of that.

Yeah probably not, a big shame because even the benefits they told us about we don’t always get!

But is this a good idea or too risky?

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?
