Got an informal offer to join a client (manufacturing company). 240k base, 60k cash bonus target (can shrink or double depending on company metrics) + 50k annual equity (3 yr rolling vesting). Director level which has just one additional layer between me and the Exec Committee. My contact already internal negotiated extra vacation and is working on my behalf for a signing bonus. Is it worth trying to negotiate base? Or is this already a strong offer?

The equity is on the low side, and you should get a signing bonus.

Are you currently at BCG?

It’s not a bad offer for sure. Honestly at this point whether you have more wiggle room will depend on company and sector within manufacturing and the strength of your app. Need more detail to really know if you could do better here.

Industry is food/pharma. Have 15 YOE split evenly between consulting and industry (as an engineer). Mostly in operations strategy related work (eg network transformations, ODDs, Mfg improvement, etc.)

It doesn’t hurt to ask if they have flexibility around the base, bonus, or equity but I think that’s a solid offer, especially in LCOL area.

For reference I’m at BCG and your offer of $350 TC is in line for a Principal here with one year in role (5 years post MBA) going to the type of job you’re describing. The only thing I don’t like about it is the 3 year rolling vesting on the equity.

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?
