Final McKinsey generalist Associate interview coming up. I understand the base is standard across North America but to what extent is the signing bonus negotiable? And/or if the base is negotiable?

You could maybe see how much of a relocation bonus you can get but rest of it is non negotiable

Nothing is negotiable. You are paid on a total comp basis on performance, on a single grid across the US. Bonus is not like B4 - it is there every year, so total comp is constant and real. You will be paid plenty vs wherever else you are. Honestly don’t pay a moments attention to comp. it’s not who we are or how we think. Focus on client impact. And solving problems.

Assuming you're an experienced hire and not a new grad, I'd be surprised if signing bonus was non-negotiable. Definitely never hurts to try. I asked BCG for higher signing and got an extra 15k. Pretty good for a 2min phone call I'd say.

15k extra is really good. McKinsey didn’t move a $ for my signing bonus even as lateral.

I would say reloc and signing are negotiable from what I know - base and bonus not.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

While I am trying to switch to other companies, I’m not able to reveal the real reason from my side for the job change, as if I say, it’s because of layoff fears than it’ll reduce my negotiation power.

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.
