I'm on offer for a position but have a large bonus due in two months time and also have three months notice. Will this make it complex to move?
Answer:
Following the recent downturn, companies are being more conservative in steering away from offering large sign-on bonuses and buying out notice periods. Be sure that your prospective employer understands, at an early stage of the process, how large your potential bonus is and also that your notice period is three months. Don't surprise the hiring mangager too late in the process with this information. Be prepared, if you really want the job, to sacrifice some of your bonus and buy-out some of your notice period yourself. Especially if the new opportunity offers better potential and perhaps a higher package.
