Always negotiate. The original offer is always on the table if they say no to adding on extra money.

Ask for a house

Yes ask for a sign on bonus, they may say yes or no. But you will never know if you do not ask.

Solidify the base comp which is what will matter most over time. Most bonuses come with a time commitment clawback, so if things don’t work out and you leave before the specified time you will have to pay that bonus back usually on a prorated basis.

I’ve interviewed for several positions AVP and VP roles since October of ‘21 internally with Citi. Didn’t take any of them because it would have been only $8k - $11k salary bumps. For double or even triple the work. So I’m leaving to go from $70k to $235k in September at a competing firm for a VP level role. The moral of the story: hop if you need to. No reason to stick around for low pay and not being compensated fairly by the company that expects “loyalty” from you.
