Do all FAANG companies offer a joining bonus?
Hi Guys,
I had referred my friend in CTS, who joined in Feb 2022 & will complete 3 months (active payroll) on 15-May-2022. I received a mail confirming my referral acceptance.
Meanwhile, I have handed in my papers & am serving my notice period with my LWD being 23-May-2022. In this case, will I receive the referral bonus?

After submitting my resume for the Global Finance and Business Management full time position at JP Morgan (my dream job!), I got a HireVue invite the next day! However, I completed it 9 days ago and still have no response....
When do we get a response in average, and after how much time does it mean I probably am not getting an offer to continue?
Thanks!

The culture in some organizations just requires us to put in extra time and deal with it. Your manager might have handled your request more gracefully, but their attitude is not uncommon. When you have to put in extra hours you just do it, and it's just part of being in a business that pays well.

That's a great perspective! Thank you for your input.
It's pretty weird that they would laugh at you. I guess that's just a really good reminder to not do more than you're paid to do. A reasonable manager would have let you take a couple of hours off, but they kind of burned that bridge so I would encourage you not to go above and beyond in the future.
Pro
Yeah it turned me off a little, ngl.
You didn’t do anything wrong, but neither did your manager.
You don’t have a flex job. The correct way to deal with this is leave half an hour early most days next couple of weeks.
Pro
Honestly great idea.

You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s totally reasonable to ask, especially if 50 hours is well above your norm. In a lot of salaried roles though, there’s this unspoken expectation that extra hours just “come with the job.” The laugh probably reflects that mindset more than anything you did.
Pro
You're probably right. I won't take it personally haha it just confused me there for a hot minute.
You did do something wrong. You told them.
Without knowing what kind of job you have and what industry you are in, it’s hard to tell what is normal and what is not. But I can tell you in banking, the expectation is that you have a job to do, and if it takes you 50-60 hours a week to do it, you do it. If not, you are welcome to leave, and someone else will want your job. Of course, compensation reflects that. I work a minimum of 10 hrs a day, 50 hrs a week, that’s my norm.
Pro
Great point. Thankfully, I'm in a pretty low stress position where working 40-45 hours a week is normal.
Pro
I mean that’s salary for you. Sounds like he just might be used to your company’s culture and has accepted it as the norm.
Pro
Yeeeeeep
Well if they laugh at you, that’s a red flag for me.
Right? The lack of appreciation is what would bother me. I don’t expect it to all equal out but a little give/take goes a long way.
