Submitted my two weeks and my manager informed me that I won't be getting last year's bonus because I did this. The bonus payout date is my last day of work. Is there something I can do? I know bonuses are usually discretionary.

I couldn't push out my start date anymore, so I had to put in my two weeks today. I got denied when I asked for a signing bonus to replace my potential bonus.

I think you're SOL. Hindsight is 20/20 but that's why it's best to wait until the money is in your account before putting in notice

A bonus is a retention tool (despite what our firms like to say). If they can’t retain you, then they aren’t going to pay you.

Putting your two weeks in is purely out of courtesy.

Quitting day of would have been understandable in this situation if you knew this was a possibility.

I had no idea my firm would do this. The culture was pretty great in my time working here.

Hi! I have been working in marketing and advertising for ~5 years and recently started exploring the freelance side of things. I started conversations with a small boutique studio about doing Facebook ads for them and they asked what my retainer fee would be to manage them. Since I’ve always worked for a company that was hired to do it I am not entirely sure what a freelance rate for that should be? I would love any insight. I’m certified through meta’s platform too if that matters.

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
