Is it rude to ask a recruiter how bonuses are handled when the year is almost over? I want clarity before switching roles. How do you ask without sounding entitled?

To help rationalise, perhaps consider that it would reflect badly on you (showing lack of commercial awareness) if you didn’t ask…?

No, it’s not rude at all! It’s basic information you need to make an informed decision. But don’t surprised if the recruiter doesn’t know that information.

Not the slightest bit rude. Bonuses are an important part of comp structure. I wouldn't accept an offer without knowing those details, and the only way to get them ahead of time is by asking. You're doing the smart thing here.
