Fintech staff bonuses

Many people who join fintech do so in the hope of earning stock in their firm that will balloon in value as it grows. If you want to earn that stock pay, or indeed any other kind of bonus, you’ll have to choose your fintech carefully

The UK’s government mandated gender pay gap disclosure filings require fintechs to break down the gender-split of their organization, and say how many men and women each received bonuses last year (in either stock or cash). From that, we can extrapolate how many people across the organization received bonuses that year.

Time to scrap the gender reporting, honestly. I don’t see what good it’s doing. Just makes companies feel like they need to increase their equality based on that metric alone rather than who was better for whatever job. We’re past the world of big companies doing this and things like pay discrepancies should be union matters.

Yes, the finance industry is known for being dominated by trade unions and take full heed of their grievances….

Oh
