Big end of year bonuses are par for the course (in addition to a nice salary) in finance. I've worked as an engineer in the industry for close to 15 years.

- hahaxdxd123 4y agoFinance (I'm thinking prop trading) seems different from Valve. You eat what you kill - if you're sabotaging team members you're not making money. If you're at Valve, you can count on your monopoly still printing money while you carve out pieces of the pie for yourself. Any negative effects from your work will be felt years later when you're long gone.
- SEJeff 4y agoI in fact work in prop trading. Our owner was once asked about more people joining the team as we grew making the bonus pool smaller. He (rightfully) said that the team member should focus on making the pie bigger than getting a bigger slice of a small pie. It’s worked out very well for us.
