So my effective hourly is pretty much half what it should be (cries internally). | ||

Last year I was home for Christmas, but basically pounding away at work until 9pm Christmas eve, then took a break until the day after Christmas - this year will be better, though. Dunno how weird it is, but my mentality is that is kind of what it takes to get ahead in the career. First few years are gonna be a super grind. | ||

Fifth Third Bancorp will pay more than 13,500 employees a bonus and raise the minimum wage of its workforce to $15 an hour after the passage of the Republican tax plan that will cut the bank's corporate tax rate. Fifth Third is yet another company to announce a bonus for employees because of the tax plan. AT&T said earlier Wednesday that it would pay more than 200,000 U.S. employees $1,000 each and increase its capital spending budget by $1 billion. Wells Fargo, meanwhile, also said it would be boosting its minimum wage for employees to $15 an hour, which was prompted by the tax plan. The San Francisco-based bank also said it would target $400 million in donations to community and nonprofit organizations next year. Cincinnati-based Fifth Third, the fifteenth largest U.S. bank by asset size, said the tax cut allowed it to re-evaluate its employee pay and pass along some of the windfall. Nearly 3,000 workers will see hourly wages rise to $15. The $1,000 one-time bonus is expected to be paid by the end of this year, the bank said, assuming President Donald Trump signs the bill into law by Christmas. Senior managers and top executives are excluded from the special payments. "It is good for our communities, employees and Fifth Third Bank," said CEO Greg Carmichael in a statement. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2017/12/20/fifth-third-bancorp-unveils-bonuses-minimum-wage-hike-after-tax-bill-passage.html? | ||

Corporate development at a healthtech "startup" (startup in the sense we grow like crazy and are taking private investment, though headcount/ rev wise we are getting up there). My team handles strategy, acquisitions, investments/ investor relations and special projects for the C-suite. I basically am part finance/ accounting, part legal, part operations and part strategy.
