I had more luck doing things on my own than with working with a recruiter but everyone’s experience is different.
Nothing on signing bonus and they know the market isn’t the best but I do appreciate the positivity they give

Same.

Had one reach out. Said the signing bonus would be in the six figures (and no, not K&E).

funny

I used a recruiter for both of the jobs I had in small law and the job I just started this week in a large firm. You’ve got to be careful though because they’ll try to disincentivize you as far ask asking for signing and relocation bonuses if they want to work for that firm again in the future

Hey guys, so I have competing offers. One at Bank of America for 124, and one at Allspring for 110.

Does anybody work at Allspring? They did not provide any information regarding benefits, 401k match, or any annual bonus structure. I was told, verbally, that the Bank of America bonus is something like 15 to 20%, but nothing in writing.

Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge about compensation structure at Allspring, or any opinions on the culture there. I would be in Charlotte.
