My "bonus" is really just part of my pay. I don't make a real living wage otherwise. I get paid per unit sold and delivered. I don't have any say in how many cars get sold, but my "bonus" paycheck is a per unit amount on every car I deliver.
We have our standard 2-4% raises. When we were VeriSign I had a 20% target bonus, RSU grants every year, and a 2 year lookback on ESPP allowing you to contribute 25% of your salary to. Those were the good 'ol days. I made over 200k the last year I worked there from all the fringe benefits on top of my salary. Now at Symantec we get piddly RSU's (if you're lucky to get any), 10% bonus for managers, no ESPP look back only the initial 15% cost cut in the purchase.25.3% bonus? yearly increase? fuck im in the wrong industry.
i'm in my best bonus ever, at 10%.
and still have yet to EVER recieve a raise at ANY company i ever worked for, without changing jobs/positions. 'cost of living' raise i guess they call it.
Its for 170. But I'm the only income earner.There's some suburbs that aren't too far, but the commute in sucks. tons of traffic. and even the surrounding areas are pricey. if its not for 130+, i'd pass.

haha, it is a software development management position for an online health care provider. Sounds like the bay area. My house is worth $520k now and is 1300 sq ft 3bdr/2ba home built 50 years ago.170k a year....i'd move anywhere for that kind of salary...who are you blowing to get that kinda of income lol...B is right though , living in Greenwich 500k gets you a crappy start up home or a very small 2/1 condo thats probably nice
It sounds like another bay area to me, just colder and worse weather.I'd probably do it for 170. For about a year or two before i got fed up with it at least.
And then, good luck finding that salary again without having to take the train into the city every day.
Be ready for a stressful hour plus commute.
15 and 95 are basically parking lots at most commuter times of day.
rte 1 has traffic lights every 10 feet.
And don't forget CT is horrible for taxes, especially for high earners. You'll probably end up taking home 40k. lol
How are you doing in the sales aspect?
Now I'm no finance guru, but to me it sounds like it would be greatly worth your time and effort to do some research and manually contribute to the various funds/markets within your 401K. Like J said, the past few years have been a great recovering period since 2008, and I'd imagine (and hope) it will continue in this direction. I've made about 18% ROI on mine over the past year with a moderately risky configuration. Even the SAFEST funds with the least amount of risk should be making more than 2%.It's automatically controlled by New York Life and i don't have the time or effort to research it to manualy imput my contributions. I have to trust that a compnay rated A++ by AM Best knows what they are doing.
Who still holds a job they had 2 years ago these days? everyone moves around, makes different money, etc etc... it's hard to compare to something when it wasn't there before.
I do.
But to be fair, I'm going to be getting approximately a 45% raise this year when the new position opens up.
