How dumb can you be to risk your bonus over a week?
If in doubt.........
@OP could negotiate a sign on bonus equal to your bonus you would be losing.
@SA1 - There’s a signing bonus involved, I was just getting greedy. Starting 10/1!
Yes 10/1. You won’t get bonus if you gave notice prior. Might could risk it a few days early but I would try it depending on the amount
Deloitte used to pay as long as you were still employed, regardless of giving notice. Not sure if that’s still the case. And they could always shorten your last day anyway
I know Crowe will chop your bonus if you give your notice prior to payout. Kinda messed up when they also say your bonus is for your prior years performance…
I have the offer now, and it’s worth losing a bonus over. Two weeks notice here I come
If it’s to another big 4, they’ll escort you out the same day so a two weeks notice wouldn’t matter if given on 9/30 or 10/1.
@manager 1 if it’s to another public accounting firm but not one of the big 4 will they also escort you out?
Don’t believe so, but it might be direct competitors. Someone here should be able to shine more light on when they do it.
Giving notice is ultimately courtesy. You can always just quit and give zero notice.
