It's also a time when hiring managers who have been courting candidates look up and say, okay, I've been talking to that guy for four months. Is he coming over? He got it. He said he was waiting for his bonus. Is he coming? If he does, great. If not, we get a call.

I have hiring managers that say, hey, we can't pay huge sign-ons, so we'll just wait until they get their bonus, and then we'll recruit them over. So I get a lot of calls then, too. It's a very exciting time. Over the next couple weeks, we're going to see the culmination of those activities come to a head. At the same time, be mindful.

This is also the time of the year where there are a lot of surprises. Candidates you've been courting that you thought for sure were coming on board suddenly decide to stay with their current organization or even worse, go with one of your competitors. Hiring leaders are always surprised by a resignation they didn't expect or didn't see coming. But what exactly does it mean for you?

I feel like this time of the year, you're really going to be faced with one of three choices about what to do at bonus time. First choice, you worked hard, you hit your goals. Guys, let's be honest. If you're in that camp, you need to celebrate. Go home, get the bottle of bubbly, bring the flowers or the box of chocolate or whatever works for your significant other and celebrate it.

This is what it's about. If you're not in that camp, you worked hard, you hit your goals, but for whatever reason, the bonus was a little bit, let's say a little bit disappointing. I do get a lot of knee-jerk reaction calls during that, and they say, gosh, you know, I did this and I did that, and they promised me X, but they only delivered Y.

You and I both know people don't make moves solely for money. And I think if you find yourself in this situation, you really got to take a deeper look at all the other factors around your current career placement to decide, hey, is this just disappointing and we need to suck our thumb for a couple minutes and then get back at it? Or is this really part of a bigger problem?

And whatever you decide to do, make sure it's based on principle decision making. For some of you, you're going to fall into the latter category, and I hope you've already called me. And that's the category you say, you know what? This was the straw. I'm the camel. I've had enough, and I'm out of here. If that's truly you, and this was the final straw, please give me a call.

Let me know what I can do to help. If you're not sure which camp to be in, you're not sure what the market bears, what is realistic, what's to be expected, call or email. You know I'm always happy to help.

Hi, this is Stephanie Moss. I was recently driving into the office. Honestly, I was rocking it out to the song, Should I Stay or Should I Go? I think it's by The Clash. But it got me thinking about some recent conversations I've had with candidates in the marketplace. And they were basically asking me, hey, I'm not really happy in my current situation. What do I do? Should I stay or should I go?

Think about the song from Kenny Rogers. You got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away. Imagine that playing in the background right now. And here's what I mean. Now, every person has to make that decision for themselves, but here's some general counsel and some really good news.
