There is no room to negotiate base and bonus. Maybe try to get moving or signing, but usually those are fixed too

You will get whatever the standard rate is for your tenure (it is the same across all US)

Congrats OP

Congrats!! As B1 said there is no room to negotiate on base and bonus as everyone within a cohort is paid the same (with potential for higher bonus based on performance).

So you have two options:
1) Negotiate a higher sign on bonus
2) Negotiate to come in at a higher level - e.g. 2nd year AC

Know someone who’s done no.2 successfully so worth considering especially if you have competing offers

Don’t bother trying to negotiate. You won’t get a higher sign on bonus or higher pay.

If it’s at pwc make sure you get 85k+ for tier 1

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?
