While compensation tends to be similar across different companies in the same industry, opportunities for growth can be vastly different, says Mr. Smith. Don't let one year's results govern the rest of your career by overreacting. 'Keep your head down, build value for yourself and eventually you will get paid down the road,' he says.
史密斯說，盡管同一個行業中的不同公司薪酬往往相差不多，但薪酬增長的機會卻可能有天壤之別。不要對某一年的薪酬反應過度，以致于左右了今后的職業生涯。他說，要保持低調、提升自己的價值，最終你將會勞有所獲。
If you see the paltry bonuses as part of a larger trend at your company, you could consider looking for a job elsewhere. But, Jim Piper, principal at Stanton Chase International says it's a longshot.

如果你認為微薄的獎金是你們公司整體趨勢的一部分，你可以考慮跳槽。不過，高管獵頭公司Stanton Chase International負責人派普說，跳槽風險很大。他每天收到的光交易員的簡歷就有約20份。他說，現在或許是把不滿放在肚子里的時候，獎金構建的形勢永遠不會和以前一樣了。
