Tally up everything you’ll lose by leaving job1:

You may lose a chunk of RSUs, 401k match if your company has a vesting schedule, etc.



It’s easy to increase a signing bonus if you explain WHY you need a larger signing bonus… when HR presents your offer for job2, if you enter that conversation with those figures they may just add those #s to their standard signing bonus package no questions asked.

I just job hopped & through negotiation they matched lost RSUs, lost 401k match + 10% relocation + 20% signing.

Yes. I had RSUs (stock grants) that vested over a long vesting schedule that were contingent on continued employment with Company1

Company2 added the m2m value of these RSUs to my signing bonus (cash).

20% pls

I think that would be pretty solid OP, good benchmark to go to. Also what SA1 said about what you'd lose out taking the new job

It depends on the company whether the bonus is negotiable or not. But if it is, having other offers at hand would be great. You can use those offers to negotiate for a higher bonus.

Starting to interview with startups offering equity (both are still private, but close to going public) but don’t know much about it as I’ve never had equity in my comp package. How is equity taxed? If they don’t go public before I leave, but my equity is vested, would I lose it? Any general info here would be greatly appreciated

My small company was bought out by a corporation. During the acquisition process, the new HR team wants to demote my title from “manager” to “specialist” due to their company requirements. I declined the offer and they changed the offer to grandfather my title in but are still evaluating my salary based on a specialist role. My supervisor (a VP) and our President disagree with this choice but are making no headway with the new HR team. What can we do?
