Does anybody else feel like shit because they’ll never get a $100k signing bonus?
Failed FB intern interview and now I’ll never get a sick signing bonus. I feel like dying, what do I do
You do realize that you'll be able to interview again in the future right?
:( 50k
Better than me at Amazon, which is $0
Who cares about a sick signing bonus, half of it goes into a trash can due to taxes and stuff
^ this is accurate. Literal 50% tax
50% withheld != 50% tax. Source: someone who got 75k so I should just quit at life for not getting 100k apparently
I got an extremely ill signing bonus at Amazon, 300k.
If you did I’m assuming you’re like an L8 or something crazy
That could be L6
Welcome to the real world.
67 k signing bonus at Amazon. L4. Also TC is very comparable.
I got 65 over 2 years. And that’s because of the vesting schedule. At FB interns get 150k with 25% every year plus a higher base (110k) and the 75k or 100k signing. That’s 223k minimum and plus they get year end bonuses whereas we don’t.
Our bonuses aren’t really bonuses they’re just done to make up for how shitty the vesting structure is
If it makes u feel any better the tax rate on a bonus is 50%. So really only 50k.
get a big L tatted on your forehead.
Agreed then do heroin for a few months and then die
Yeah you can definitely sit here whining and doing nothing.thats gonna help
Ugh seek help? A signing bonus is a one time stop gap, it's not life altering at all. You'll be fine and make millions over the years; your life is definitely worth more than 100k :)
Tbh I don’t think my life is honestly. Probably gonna pick Amazon FT so I’m not gonna make millions over the years either :(
Amazon pays very well. And once you have a lot of money you will learn money doesn't actually matter or impact your happiness or fulfillment anyway.
