My bonus looked good on paper until taxes hit and now it feels like… not much. Meanwhile workload definitely went up this year. Do people still care about bonuses?

.....yes? I wish mine was bigger, just like everyone else, but money is money. I very much care about that.

My company did away with bonuses 3 years ago. Yes, I care, but that doesn't mean I can force them to give me one. I assume everyone cares about getting more money for the work they do.

So yea I care about bonuses, however I do not expect them. every company I have ever worked for has provided a bonus. The amounts have varied. I do not count on any money but what I have earned with my hourly wage.

I feel like they're something you'd like to happen but you have to pretend they don't exist for planning purposes because they may not come to much. Or show up at all.

Also... if it makes you feel better... at my last job I made 95k a year (base). After taxes, because of where I live, that covered.... drum roll.... rent and utilities. Can't move for family reasons. Blows my mind every day.

You could say the same thing about your salary. Bonuses aren’t taxed any more than normal comp

Corporate / M&A folks making moves over the last few months: Got an offer from a top 50 lockstep AmLaw100 firm. 4th year.

What should I expect / negotiate for signing bonus, year-end bonus eligibility, special bonus eligibility, etc.? Any other negotiation considerations? I would say leverage is on my side considerably.

Hi!

I recently did a job interview and I made it clear to the HR my expectation salary is 60k a year, non negotiable.

Should I accept the offer or renegotiate?
