My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

My advise is, do not rely on bonus as part of the compensation, even if they are in the contract the company may not give them if the full organisation doesn't reach the target. I made that mistake before and my total compensation was lower even when the base salary was higher.

In my personal experience the target bonus has been reserved for finalizing the offer negotiations. I'm guessing to make up for any shortfalls/limits in the base compensation. Has he had the opportunity to sit and speak with them?

I agree with the first comment. I wouldn't rely on that as part of comp. Then when it comes its like an extra added bonus.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
