I worked at a firm where I earned a 25-50% bonus that was never below 37%. New job bonuses are 10% or nothing and raises largely de minimus without promotion, I’d say consist actionable feedback was much more impactful than comp structure as long as comp changed when I met goals

Never below 37% for everyone? A new job bonus is the signing bonus? I'm struggling to understand your last clause.

Sorry, had to heavily edit for twitter length. First sentence was consulting firm. Second sentence about current job. I never had below 37% given I did well / firm never did horribly. Point of last sentence was for me, huge cash bonus or a promotion with a raise didn’t matter

Ah, but were you optimizing for long-term economics instead of short-term? When I was 22 I'd gladly work for people for free. Not anymore.

So in terms of retention, maybe that’s a good thing
