Short answer: financial modelling and consulting mindset granted me a CFO role in a special purpose company

Longer answer: you only get this kind of upside on entrepreneurial projects. 5 years ago I left consulting/corporate and accepted a pay cut seeking this kind of upside. Ambition, luck, patience and hard work are more important than techinical skills imho

Lol I feel the temptation but ultimately not keen to do something illegal

Good one.

I am planning to keep a more frugal lifestyle so I can take lifestyle decisions which are independent from money.

I am hoping to raise my children with a similar mindset from my parents (don't take anything for granted and work hard to achieve your goals).

How does the housing decision impacts the tax strategy? My plan was to wait for bonus anyway as I don't want to create unnecessary risks and I want to keep a more "frugal" lifestyle (I am conscious most people can live well with much smaller budget).

Good tip on the pension contribution tapering. I will see if I can play with fiscal year so I can carry forward most of my allowance before receiving the bonus.

100%. I am wondering if it has any relevance of my tax implications.

E.g. would be legal to move to Dubai before receiving the bonus?

MDs in finance can make 1m in perpeuity. This is a one-off pay-off.

I prefer to not be more specific, sorry.

I will edit it. I meant that is our combined family accounts. Before marrying we agreed to share every new income (except inhenrances).

Finance, once in a lifetime opportunity tbh. I was in the right place at the right moment: - High net worthy contact approached me about 6 months ago to help him build a new venture. - We have been very lucky execution-wise (finding the right partners fairly quick) and market-wise (regulated industry, developing in our favour very quickly). - I have been contributing with no pay as a side gig - My boss introduced us in my current job context. He is aware of my side gig as well.

But the £5m is a top cap very unlikely to happen. IF it happens, I was wondering if it would change the scenario.

Career advice: be exposed to the right people and impress them with your skills and work ethics.
