Anyone have tips for salary negotiations? Was offered 20k base less then what I asked for, but offered 10K sign on bonus. Willing to trade sign on for increased base. Overall do love the company so plan on accepting regardless.

Say, hey, let’s meet in the middle -
10k more in base, 10k more in sign-on with 50% clawback year 1 and 50% clawback year 2

I always suggest increasing your negotiating power by keeping these things separate. So, I would let them know how excited you are to join, but be honest that a 20k hit to your base will take years to recover. Ask if they’re willing to meet your current salary. Keep your ask concise and direct, let them worry a bit that they need to come up or run the risk of losing you.
See what happens there. Use the sign on bonus as a way to get half way there if they don’t budge with your first offer (know that they may not budge here either, but always worth asking). If you love the job, be prepared to not win either of these asks, it may not be possible on their end, but stay positive as you know you want the job and things have a way of working themselves out when leadership notices what a valuable asset you are.

Is total compensation, bonus, etc close or are you taking a big hit to your bottom line going to new company? It doesn’t always matter if it’s where you want to be and grow, but make sure you look at total compensation when comparing, there are many more components to your compensation than salary.

Cool for you. Looks like MBB feedback is tough environment. But if you can handle it, then you can only get stronger from it. Tougher in this climate for sure. One other piece of advice, leave on great terms and accept and explain it may not work out and if so you would love to come back. Be ready too for a possible counter, ACN losing a few right now (we all are tbh) Have your main reasons for leaving in hand.

Interesting. This IS your best chance, you are in the driving seat... however don’t blow it! Your approach is the right one, ask if there is anything they can do to address the difference as you would really appreciate (during these times) an uplift on the base and you’re prepared to sacrifice a one time sign on bonus. Don’t say it’s a show stopper but it will show experience and maturity if you do it right. Be prepared also for them to say no and not feel like you lost something.
