<prompt> Human: Hey rpf, Ive decided that I want to start looking for a new job for a variety of reasons. In an ideal situation, I would start applying for jobs now; however, Im getting a quarterly bonus mid-November 1k, a Christmas bonus mid-December 1k, and my EOY bonus next March 3-10k, I find out the beginning of February. In addition, I have 9 holidays between now and January 2nd. I think that it definitely makes sense to delay my job search until January, but do you think that I should wait to leave until after I receive my end-of-year bonus? For some background, I currently make 100k and I should be able to get new jobs in the 110k-120k salary range.  <response>: Sounds like you get a bigger bonus for getting a new job. However, you dont have an offer yet to compare. Apply then compare.
