Does how much you spend/how many times you use the banks money for dinner (Meal perks) affect how much your bonus is?
Lmao. No that gets billed to client anyways
Why would that get billed to a client? I’m talking about when your in the office past 7 and order dinner
because you technically stayed past office hours doing work for them on their project
Yes I’m aware
I’m sure it varies firm to firm, but at my firm yes. The second year will review the first years staffed on a live deal with then
only a live deal?
Team politics matter more. If your AN2 does not like you, but the MD likes the way you look then yeah your bonus is still good
