AlixPartners gave me a VP offer, but it didn’t include a signing bonus, which makes the offer not competitive. I asked for one and they denied the request. I’m still on the fence about joining cuz I’m making a similar amount now with a good network and WLB. Is it worth it to go back to them and ask for a signing bonus again?

Care to share the offer?

Depends on why you started looking in the first place. Purely a money play? Then it would be silly to leave if the comps are similar and you have a good WLB. It’s a different response if you just want to get out of your firm, want to learn something new, or start factoring intangibles like that.

It depends on where you want to go at the end of the day. If your current firm checks all your boxes and treating you well, there isn’t a good enough reason to switch then if the pay is the same

Which area?

I’ll argue for taking the offer - we have a better comp trajectory, and the culture is great.

AP5 I’m interviewing for an SVP role with EI. Comp expectations ?

Don’t ask again, they already said no. To worth to move with them.

Agree with AP 1 on comp trajectory. I came in believing in the “trajectory”. My comp would have been higher if I stayed at my old big 4 firm. Regretting this decision everyday. Don’t take it

Which group has better career progression?
