I've been trying to update my resume with my last 5 years of experience and I'm completely overwhelmed. At this point I just need to hire a resume writer. I need someone who can talk to me about my experience and actually write the resume, not just edit an existing resume. Does anyone have a recommendation? Is ResumeSpice worth the money?

From a US perspective, you have to be on payroll on bonus payout day to guarantee you’ll receive it. If you resign ahead of that, it’s possible your last day will be set prior to payout which would lose the bonus. Therefore, the usual advice is to hold off on resigning until you get the bonus on September 30 to avoid any risk of losing it.
There is wide variance around the world in the policies for this and the US policy is not replicated in many if not most other countries, just as notice period/gardening leave policies vary by local labor market and/or employment law. Similarly, the timing of bonus payouts and annual salary adjustment effective dates varies.
Thank you - very helpful!
The UK position is the same.
If you hand in your resignation at any time before the payment is made into your account, the firm will not the make the payment. The UK bonus date is the July pay day.
