Dependent on particular type of litigation, your class year, and sometimes exact starting date (some firm’s accounting departments won’t pay out signing bonus for Dec. start dates). DM me if you want more specifics.
Thanks! Also, do you think it matters that I’m being poached and they’re asking me to start ASAP?
Yes, but to an extent. Push too hard for an unrealistic number and at best you piss off your future boss and leave a permanent sour taste. Worst case they pull the offer if they were close to offering someone else or someone else has also come along. If you were targeted & poached, at the very least make sure you’re not leaving regular and special bonus behind. Be compensated. After that, get what you can but don’t make money the ultimate goal for an extra $10K-$20k above what they might offer.
