Want to go to Zanzibar in July but tbh the prices I’m seeing look like you need at least 9+ months to plan . Has anyone visited and what was your total spending approx ?

I went to Zanzibar but it was a last minute decision while I was already in East Africa. Flights can be pricey from the US, but once you get there it's pretty affordable unless you're a super high end traveler. I stayed in a hostel for example

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
