Hello FishBowl,

I’m in the final rounds of my interview process for a NYC Hedge fund, non tech role. The recruiter mentioned the compensation package is bonus heavy which can be multiples of base salary. Though they will guarantee a full bonus (sign on + year end) for my first year. 300k target

My current role/company is salary focused so I’m out of my element negotiating the bonuses.

What type of questions should I ask the recruiter about the bonus payouts? Vesting?

YOE 7

Did they specify how often the bonuses will be paid out, and if it’s paid out as “cash” (compensation)? Some bonuses may be stocks, etc.

Great question, thank you for the feedback!

Hey all,
I'm currently in the negotiation stage for an engineering position with a new company.

Original offer:
83000/yr salary

Counter:
93500/yr salary w/ 10k sign-on

Response:
84800/yr with 10k sign-on

My go/no go mental number:
88500/yr with 7.5k signon

Based on my conversation with HR, I've maxed out the base pay number. Does it sound reasonable to come back with 84800/yr with 12.5k sign-on since they weren't close to the base pay number I was looking for?

I’ll have 5 when I push for the promotion, so I’d want more than the base level of pay in the range.
