Im a prospect so take my advice w grain of salt, but if you give the two weeks before your bonus that could give them reason to give you less unless the bonus number is decided well before your performance review and bonus day
When you see your bank account flush with bonus cash. Don’t trust anyone.
How long does it take for bonus to hit your bank account from the time they are announced?
it took a week for me this year
Generally the next payment cycle, a month max for most firms
You send in notice the day the cash hits your account.
Don’t want to hijack thread but can’t they sometimes claw-back bonuses or is that just signing bonus?
