Vacation is not- it is rank dependent
Comp would be the only potential negotiation point. Just know that they have a total comp # in mind far before they make you an offer and (unless they really need someone at your level immediately) they won't be going above that
I'd say there is room for negotiation IF they are in desperate need of someone at your position. Given that situation they will probably be willing to offer you towards the higher end of whatever "salary band" you'd fall into. So if you are coming in with 4 years of experience, i.e. a second year senior at PwC, and the senior associate salary band in your region is 65k to 90k, they'd consider negotiating something more like 80 or 85 when organic S2's are probably closer to 75. The important CAVEAT here is that when your first review comes around and you are moving to S3 you are very very likely to be bumped to around 90k (top of your band) and otherwise compensated with a bonus (or nothing) and be told that you were brought in on the high side. After that it will be up to you to negotiate a bigger bump (difficult after the fact at Big 4 given the levels of bureaucracy) or lay the foundations for a larger than normal bump in your manager promotion year. Of course this all depends on how badly they need you and if you are any good. Good luck!
I think sign on bonus and salary are negotiable - I did most of my negotiating before I got my offer - the recruiter let me know what they were thinking and I told him what I wanted - he basically asked for what it would take to get me to say yes before going through the process of getting the outside of bands salary approval. Then when it came in I accepted the first official offer.
I was offered 60? Asked for 75, got 72 and was happy with it.
Yeah I saw where pwc is after two years of service you get an extra week, so wondering if an experience hire could negotiate to get that if they had 2+ years of experience
Well obviously at pwc it wouldn't be a negotiation since it's offered, but you could use it for the others
There's almost no negotiation room. I heard someone lost the offer when presenting another offer to the recruiter for a match.
All should be negotiable within a reasonable range. Vacation should be a slam dunk if they are offering less than you have currently.
the more leverage you have the more negotiable it is. i forwarded my offer letters from other firms to the recruiter and got them to match.
