Would you push back your class to the Jan one? Is there a number that makes it worth it to delay class, or is it a big mistake to wait?
A January hire will also wait an extra year to get profit sharing (after first full year on property, which will be 2020 PS, paid out in 2021) that a December hire will not (2019 being first full year). Probably won’t offset all of your bonus, but will take a bite out of it.
Also to echo the post above about being above the waterline...guys hired a few classes before mine spent nearly zero time on reserve in my BES. I was a year exactly on reserve.
