My current workplace has a yearly bonus and you have to be employed at the time of payout to get it. Has anyone successfully gotten a job offer to give a signing bonus of at least that bonus as an incentive to move companies?

I haven't yet but should really try. We have a similar scheme at my workplace. The main difference is that instead of making the bonus a one time payment, they've split it into two payments spaced six months apart. It's a scummy, effective way to keep employees from leaving.

Ive done that for hires.

I’m excited for my wedding but it’s almost 9 months away and I started planning it over a year ago. However, whenever I’m around friends/family it’s the only thing people want to talk to me about. It’s constant and generally there’s not many updates to give & I’d just rather talk about other things. I work full time & I’m in school right now so I’m stressed about those things and I don’t know how to communicate that I’d just rather not talk about the wedding without sounding ungrateful/happy

Hi all, I have about 7 years of professional experience but only one year as a Customer Success Manager. I work on mid market accounts currently. I love my job, but would prefer to support a more robust platform that will allow me to add more value for my customers.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on what compensation you might expect for a CSM transitioning to a new company with one year of experience.

To clarify, I don’t have an offer yet, I’m just looking to make a move.

Thank you!
