What do you usually do with your annual bonus? Do you save it, invest it, or spend it? Do you have a set strategy every year, or does it depend on your financial situation at the time?

Situation dependent. If I have any debt, it goes toward paying it off. If I don't and I've had a good year, I'll treat myself to a vacation.

Thats really simple and good planing

Usually it goes towards debt or savings, but my wife and I have agreed to use our bonuses for a two week long vacation. We are both severely burnt out and are looking forward to the rest.

I feel this. I usually feel burnt out around the time bonuses are issued out since it’s my company’s busy quarter.

Its depends upon my financial situation at that time

I typically put a third to half of it in my 401k (my bonus is around $14k usually). Then I spend about $1k on myself to a gift card to a spa and save the rest. Then I still have a little bit I enjoy while trying to save as much as I can

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

User experience mgr salary? I support six product teams and eight reports. 20+ years experience

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
