Well, maybe I stand corrected. WPP just announced they’ll be paying bonuses this year and reducing office space.

5-8%

If you want a bonus, then your best chance is to bake it into your compensation package at the time of your hiring. Make sure it’s on paper as $X base salary with Y% bonus target based on personal and company performance. It’s not guaranteed every year, and some companies do not offer bonuses at all, but that’s your best shot at making it happen. I’m currently on a 15% bonus target.

What is this bonus you speak of? Also, what are raises? I keep hearing people say these words but they are like unicorns where I work.

We don’t get them. WPP said ✨no✨💗

I worked at a global agency that once gave every employee a $5 starbucks gift card for “employee appreciation day.” I spent 2 years overworking myself while periodically asking my boss to increase my salary to something above the state’s poverty level 🙃

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus.

How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.

Is 2k too big of a gift for a new friend (<4 months)? I went on vacation with my sons and a new friend and her son for a week. I put the hotel and amusement park tickets on my card for simplicity. After the vacation, she asked me to give her an itemized bill and I got busy with work and life and forgot about it for a month. She now has a lot of big home repairs she has to take care of and it's holiday season so I feel ridiculous asking for 2k from a single mom who makes 10% of what I do. (Cont.)

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?
