Got an offer. But, the employer is not willing to wait for year end joining bonus. This is already an earned bonus for FY21 with payout 3 months later in Dec.
The sign on doesn’t cover the year end bonus with a gap of 18K. Otherwise, I want to accept the offer. How would you approach this conundrum?

I would say:
1. I want to accept the offer
2. As you know even with sign-on bonus I am walking away from YE bonus
3. The market is hot, if you are not willing to be flexible I will need to walk away.

Assuming you've reached dead end in negotiations, look at the cost of accepting the offer.

Over the next 12 months, what will be the difference in total comp? Maybe look at 2 years. Is the switch worth it?

Then question is whether the long term gain is a high enough gain to make it worth it.

Only other perspective to offer is opportunity cost. Does this new opp open more doors with even higher ROI? If you held out a bit longer could you get on a better path?

Ask for more sign on or tell them you’re feeling a bit uncomfortable making the switch. It does not hurt to ask. 3 months is a long time so money is the only thing you can ask for.

Accept for 6 weeks out, eg oct 15, then oct 1st ask to push two weeks to Nov 1, then use pto at prior job and give notice dec

Sounds good - My bonus comes in around mid-dec. would you give notice prior to it coming in or just after?

18k isn’t that much in the grand scheme. Would try to negotiate some of it to be paid upfront but if you truly want the job, it’s not an amount of money you hold the line for

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department.
