Tax manager @ PE fund offered $150k base with target bonus (18%-30%). Does this sound too low? I thought the base would be at least $160…

Not sure but for 10k it's probably worth going back and asking for the 160, I doubt they'd just walk away or rescind the offer

Did they tell you that during interview process?

I have a similar offer at a hedge fund in CT. I was told 20% year 1 bonus and it would likely get up to 50% around year 3 or 4 — they are bonus heavy.

If it’s a HCOL city, then yes it’s a bit low, considering base in PA can be 150k as an M1 or M2.

How many years of experience do you have and what COL? No way anyone can accurately comment without more info.

I joined a new firm October 1 & billed a 200 hour month. With my current workload, I am expecting to meet or exceed my prorated hours target. When I accepted the position, future bonuses were discussed, but given ramp up, etc. I didn’t think to ask about a prorated bonus for my stump year. Has anyone dealt with this before? I hate to ask & sound greedy, but I relocated (at a pay cut) for this position & a bonus would really help going to my mortgage payments I’m still carrying for my old condo.
