My bonus was way less than I expected and I'm fuming. Is it crazy to ask my MD for a breakdown to see where I got dinged?

Yes. If you do with a positive mindset aiming to improve your performance this year
It might not be easy though.

I think instead of asking about your bonus for this past year, think about next year.

Setup a short amount of time for check-ins with your manager to develop your goals for yourself and the firm, and review them frequently. Could be a 5-10 minute call once per week or bi-weekly. This way, there are no surprises for the next bonus payout.

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

Hi Fishes,

I gave my various rounds of interview in Deloitte USI 2 months ago, and since then till last Friday it was showing " interview in progress" on their job portal, HR said earlier that we are interviewing other candidates. I got an offer from Amazon last week and asked Deloitte recruiter to speed up the process, i didn't get any reply on my email but now it's showing " review in progress" on the job portal. What does it mean? Shall I wait for Deloitte offer or take Amazon's offer.

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking.
