Help: Accepted an offer for 145k and 10k sign on. Tried to put in my 2 wks, current firm offered to match plus 30k retention bonus. Can I go back to new company for an increase to the sign on? It would be nice to get 20k from new company. I want to leave my current firm. Anyone done this before?

Doubtful. Why would they? You accepted the offer. I’d also think there’s a chance the new firm could pull the offer

like

No

Update: I received an updated offer of 145k base and 20k sign on bonus. I accepted the updated offer from the new company. Thanks for your input.

Smart. Never accept a counter offer. In the back of their mind they know your not happy there and looking to leave not because of money alone.

Commenting to follow

What firm and position?

A different consulting firm (I would rather not say publicly) and Tech.

You can it doesn’t hurt to ask. Tell them what your current company did. This happened to a friend recently and the new place came up. Since you know you want to leave, just don’t go into it too forcefully.

SA - 135k + 15k sign on

Which firm are you currently at?

Senior Consultant is EY and Deloitte
Senior Associate is PWC and KPMG.
Plus you don't know if that's my current title. it shouldn't matter anyway.

I think it depends how much you negotiated the new offer prior to accepting. If they already came up a lot from the initial offer then maybe nit. Otherwise, I’d say go for it. Actually maybe go for it regardless, can’t hurt I think it’s unlikely they would pull the offer

Nice work

I am at Deloitte at 160 have three offers to consider
1. Citi around 185 to 190 no signing bonus 2. SMBC around 170 to 175 with 15K to 20K guaranteed bonus to be paid in middle of the year 3. KPMG around 190 to 195 with 10K signing. Which one to take that would give me better exit opportunities? Thank you for all your help

Profitability tool “costs” are not transparent, suspect SEP’s high salary is a factor. Anything (other than typical overhead) to ask about?

Hi fishes,

Just need your idea/experience (if any) on the following query:
I already have an offer with CTS.
I am also getting offers from other MNCs, but for other locations.
If I wish to join CTS only, but want to negotiate with them, on the latest offer I have with an expectation that they atleast match the same amount (if not offering me more).
So just wanted to know, whether at all they would provide me a revised offer or would they be strict enough to let me go & not negotiating at all?
