- pc86 4y agoIt's pretty easy to see when a profile was created. Theirs was created 5-6 years before yours. Sometimes comments like this get the point across in ways some self-aggrandizing $WALLOFTEXT can't. €7,300 is chump change.
- eddsh1994 4y agoIn Europe that's a good bonus in a place the average income is around 35k...
- gambiting 4y agoI work in tech and the biggest bonuses I ever received were about £5-6k(pre tax too). That's pretty good money to be given as a bonus.
- alistairSH 4y ago€7,300 is chump change Spoken like a true tech bro. In most suburban areas of the US, that's ~3-4 months rent. Or more than a year of car payments. Or a year and a half of groceries for an average American family. "Chump change" LOL.
- whatatita 4y agoNah, 7'300 is a good bonus. I've never heard of a five-figure bonus outside of FAANG or long-standing senior positions in old companies such as law firm or banking.
- jhatax 4y agoCalling a bonus chump change is reductive. Two key items to consider: 1) You don't know the size of the bonus relative to their annual salary. If this is a 10%+ bonus, it's sizable. 2) The bonus was given to all -- "have jointly agreed to pay all eligible employees a special lump sum bonus of up to 7,300 euros" I can't recall an American company that gave out bonuses that satisfied both criteria listed above in the last 3-5 years of intense hardship. Edit: Added specificity on bonus eligibility
