How do you ask for a signing bonus when negotiating an offer? I was a new grad when I joined and was automatically given a signing bonus. Looking to leave and want to get another.

Signing bonuses need to be justified.

So are they unable to meet your salary number? Do you have a hot skill set critical to their strategy? Do they need to compensate you for a bonus or unvested stock grant you’re walking away from? Are you relocating for the job?

If those types of situations aren’t in play you can ask, but I wouldn’t be optimistic.

If it’s a reputable company they’ll offer you one as part of their package. From there you can negotiate what you want it to be.

What firm? I heard a couple of the big4 don’t offer.

No specific firm as I haven't started interviewing yet. I'm just asking for general knowledge when I do.

I always started with what I was walking away from.

1st time I wasn’t fully vested in my 401k and I left about six months before bonus. I just mentioned that and it started the conversation. I didn’t get specific (was actually 75% vested and only walking away from about a grand in 401k) But just used it to open the door.

Second time they started with a signing bonus. I mentioned that I was leaving a retaining bonus payable about three months from then and they matched that on top, no questions asked.

Especially if you come in without a recruiter to be paid...just ask. They need an “excuse” but usually it’s not a big deal.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.

Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.
