Hi all 🐠

I’m an MBB manager and got approached by another MBB firm for a lateral move - both EMEA offices. I’m convinced to explore the opportunity, as it makes sense based on my industry/capability angle.

Was wondering if/how much you can negotiate a signing bonus at this level?

I recently lateraled to a T2 at the manager level. First, you have to undergo the normal interview process. If you succeed, you are in a pretty good position to ask for a sign-on bonus. They might even offer it to you proactively as there’s a high need for Managers. If you want to be more careful, you can use different wording (relocation allowance/ home office allowance/ claiming the bonus you miss from your old firm..)

Also, if you have been contacted by an external headhunter, they can help you steer the negotiation.

For me, it was half of the monthly salary without being overly pushy. Heard others got a full monthly salary.

OP and SC1: did you have to do full case interviews? How many?

Looks like it’ll be full process, however I’m only seeing people from specific practice I might join.

Was also wondering how those conversations can differ from entry/post-MBA interviews - thanks SC1 for shedding some light on it.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that ā€œnot how this worksā€ as the investigator put it?

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
