My advice to you is don’t think that you are entitled to >12 months bonus. Honestly besides doing decks, sending invites and triangulating and reconciling numbers on excel, you have no innate worth. You are a piece of **** and so am I.

The faster you recognize this, the less cognitive dissonance you have around pay variance and the faster you can adapt to this industry and ride the upswings and get paid bank and quietly do your work when times are bad. And actually enjoy the through-cycle comp benefit without the pain of cognitive dissonance.
