Are EY recruiters automatically allowed to bump sign on bonus to 10k from 5k? I was negotiating with recruiter and she came back to me a little too quick saying she checked with leadership but offer was same base + 10k sign on (instead of 5k). Should I push back again asking for an increase in base? SC / Chicago / 5 YOE

I would speculate a quick email - hey ok to bump to $10k sign on? Approved.

It’s $5k one time. Kinda nbd for them

I’d rather get the increase in base and a smaller sign-on. If you quit before 1 or 2 years, you’d have to pay back all or half of the bonus.

Offered $90K base + $5K bonus. Asked for $95k base via 1AM email. HR got back to me 6AM to $95k no sign on bonus
