Hoping for an offer soon from another firm

How would you handle the combo of

1 Sign on bonus
2 foregone unvested equity that vests in 18 months
3 base premium for moving
4 standard equity in new firm@

My current strategy is to seek 1 and a combo ask for 2 and 4 Plus premium on 3 with total premium for items 2,3 and 4 of >30 percent current total comp

Thoughts ?

I moved firms last year and received a guarantee for two years at 2x my prior comp. Be aggressive!

Sounds good to me

Moving at this level should be at a significant premium given the overall risks embedded with transitioning firms. The only exception is when you know your time is limited at your current firm. You have to make sure the risk is adequately priced.

As such, a >30% premium to current for a move does not seem excessive. Given the current market environment it seems pretty reasonable.
