Need some help - transitioning into a role where the bonus is a % of my base salary. Never been paid a bonus in that fashion before. What do you all view as a low, acceptable, and high bonus %?

Think total comp basis; what you want/ need overall, and back into it

I used to have a 3%-7% range based on performance in consulting. I currently get 7-11% as a product manager. There are professions that end up being 50-50 (so 100%) but those are usually front of house or sales roles that rely on incentives. And then the other end of the spectrum are bankers that get something like a 10-90 split where the vast majority of their compensation is via bonuses that directly relate to their returns

Which industry?

What are the factors that impact the bonus payout? Company performance? Team performance? Personal performance? What is the min/max you could expect?

What have the payouts been over the last 5 years? Are bonuses ever skipped due to company economics?

I have had bonuses set at 10% of salary, but were skipped due to poor company performance. I have had bonuses set at 20% of salary that typically paid between 15-22%. I have also had bonuses that were set at 20% of salary, but paid out at 45-50% of salary when both company, region, and personal performance were all strong in the same year.

I am an experienced hire. My case might just take you by surprise. I joined EY GDS 10 months back at 40% hike (leaving PwC) and now Deloitte (DIJV) is offering me 2 level up designation at Manager level with another 40% hike. This has effectively doubled my salary in the last one year bt still I am confused to switch or not considering the amazing bonuses GDS payed off today. Please suggest.

I have just recently accepted a position as Director of Compliance at a Fin-Tech company here in Naples, FL.. My previous 17 YOE were strictly in the Financial industry. Does anyone know what the average salary is for this position? I have a sinking feeling that I accepted the role too quickly without comparing salaries. The position only pays $50k/year. That seems low to me.

FAANG (or MANGA) companies seem to be the holy grail for lots of people exiting BIG4 or even banking/consulting types looking for finance analyst type roles in industry.

Anecdotally, the pay & culture seems good at those companies, but are there significant cons to "finance analyst" type roles in those orgs which would deter you from working from them? (I.e work hours, progression etc?)
