Based on the most helpful WSO content, it is not uncommon for bonuses to be pro-rated when transitioning to a new role, especially if the move is off-cycle. While it might feel frustrating to miss out on a full bonus, private credit funds (even at the megafund level) often pro-rate bonuses for new hires based on their start date within the calendar year. This practice aligns with their internal compensation structures and ensures consistency across employees.
However, your concern about missing out on a portion of your bonus from your previous role is valid. Some candidates in similar situations have successfully negotiated a sign-on bonus or a guaranteed minimum bonus to offset this gap. It might be worth discussing this with your new employer, especially if you can articulate the financial impact of the transition.
