I’m in early talks with a recruiter for a support role at a mid sized investment bank. A few days ago I gave her a salary range. She just asked what bonus percentage I’m targeting. I don’t know how to answer this since my bonuses have been at my manager’s discretion. How do I answer her?

I’ve found most financial firms are between 10-20% for a support role (people who bring in business obviously get more than that though)

Btw, you are right. Recruiter called and we worked out the numbers. Feeling good.

How senior? Even in support roles, bonus percentage goes up a lot go and above. Also support roles have a lot of different pay bands. Business management or client services will make a lot more than operations.

Hi everyone. I have a second stage whereby I have to record a video of myself (sorry if this post is in the wrong place). Here is the brief;

‘Record a short video telling us a bit about yourself, why you’d like to work at the company, & what interests you about the role.’

Have to use Loom for this. I know with Loom you can do just video but would it be wise to make something for alongside it too? Like a PP - or is this too much? Want to go above and beyond as I love this role! Thanks!

He then reached out to me yesterday asking if I’m still interested and want to move forward..no offer letter, just gauging my interest.

What would be your take?
