Monthly Bonus or Quarterly? I prefer monthly. As a performer, it keeps you motivated and consistent. From a management standpoint I feel that monthly incentives equate to stronger performance and month over month growth. Performers have a competitive edge and don’t get comfortable.

Monthly all the way. I’ve been in positions that had both and I stayed way too long in a place I was unhappy at because I could see how much the quarterly bonus was going to be and didn’t want to lose it.

Can get pretty miserable and it’s tricky because the quarterly bonus looks much bigger than a monthly bonus.

Monthly for sure!

Yeah, I'd rather have it monthly. It will keep you from slacking off knowing that something is intended to be given to you every end of the month for your performance.

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?

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
