Millennials don’t get bonuses, they acquire more and more debt and no one gives a shit.

People think it’s our fault and blame us for it.

All we do is try.

Yet all we know is debt.

$20k last year. Big holding-company agencies typically don’t pay out bonuses (or much) because all the profit flows up and out. Independents can still pay out, if you’re lucky and valuable.

Also, wages are down across the board when compared to cost of living staples like healthcare, education and housing—including accounting for inflation. This trend is hurting younger millenials more than established gen Xers. Things like TVs, low-end consumer goods and tech are cheaper (relatively) than they were in years past, but unfortunately Alexa can’t fix my kid’s broken leg....

Is free cold brew and office snacks a bonus

My favorite was $5k that was presented as a bonus. A few years later I was informed that the company had been audited and fined for paying women less than men in equal roles. So it was less bonus, more “here’s some loose change for all the money we didn’t pay you”...

I'm not really trying to get into this "bonus" thing. It'll mess up all the hardwork I've put into beating my high debt score.

At my first job, my manager was so blown away and perhaps I was so underpaid as as junior that I scored an annual bonus equal to 14 months salary. I was blown away. since then I've gotten huge bonuses, much larger cash sums, but none ever matched the pride, gratitude or elation as that one. it's all relative to expectations, not the amount.

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
