Are signing bonuses common for experienced hires? If they don’t offer one, what’s the best way to ask for one?

If it isn't offered, you ask for it on your next conversation with the recruiter or partner. "My expectation is the offer would come with a signing bonus in the range of X - Y. Think about it and let me know where you want to offer in that range"

Bonus is about to release. You won’t have one till next summer. Tell them if they can give you sign in bonus to compensate what you miss with your old firm if you stay.

Good point. I was thinking about that but wasn’t sure if it was as effective if that’s several months out. But it’s still missed bonus money regardless

Hi Java Back-end dev (2.7 YOE) from Delhi Jio Platforms Limited Reliance Industries Limited for jio payment bank - 17 fixed + 1 (pf + gratuity)+ 2 variable - Banglore PeopleStrong - 18 fixed (it includes all the expenses) - Gurugram

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.
