The bonuses for the OW launch have already gone out. I will get in on the Legion bonuses, though.

The job I interviewed for Wednesday came back last night (through the head hunter) with a BS offer, at the absolute bottom of the range the head hunter said was for the job; When I had told him what I would accept, which was slightly above mid range.

I replied that I had given my number to him, and would be happy to accept that.

Guess I'm finally growing some balls?

Im curious what % blizzard hands out on products for bonuses. If you aren't comfortable saying don't worry about it.

You get your bonus forecasted out. From what I understand from my manager they generally are a tad conservative so you get about 10% more on average than what you're told. However if a game does better than forecasted like Overwatch then there is more money to go around. Right now my profit share is 14% of my annual salary paid out in two 7% installments. Those bonuses are also based upon performance as well. It sounds like 14% is the minimum and rarely do people get less but often get more. But since I haven't gone through the cycles yet I honestly don't know how it'll work.

I doubt Legion is doing much better than forecast. I'm sure they knew it would sell as good or a bit better than WoD.

Awesome, that's good stuff.

Akamai was 10% based on company and personal performance (split in half), but this year's bonuses are 6 months behind because as I quote the ceo on this "they wanted to retain employees over the summer" .

I have profit sharing at raytheon but no one ever explained it to me so I have absolutely no clue what it looks like or how much people get.

So I'm learning Ada

May God have mercy on my soul. Actually it isn't too bad so far.

If you stay in the DoD contractor world writing embedded software that Ada is all you need.

Yep, Ada and java
