How on earth do you even approach talking about sign on bonuses? I started w Citi over 5 years ago. When I asked about this the recruiter was so offended. “I’ve never heard of someone getting a signing bonus,” which I call BS on. She was probably w Citi for over 25+ years. I’m leaving for JP Morgan for more money. Go into negotiations tomorrow. Role is VP Project Management in Tampa. Just want to be prepared as possible.

Banks really does not do sign on bonus or rsu, that is the reason tech is stealing talent from banks

Yeah I’ve heard this from a lot of new hires as well so I’m sure they do it more than they used to. Have to retain and acquire talent some how…

You honestly just have to bring it up. Let them know you’ll be leaving current YE bonus for the new role and as the new YE bonus will likely be pro-rated, ask them if they are willing to include a sign-on bonus. It’s better to specify a figure too instead of leaving that up to them.

JPM doesn’t do sign-on bonuses unless you’re an investment banker. They only have yearly performance bonuses.

I’m about to accept a position at an information services company for a marketing coordinator position.

This would be my first time as a marketing coordinator—I’m bringing in 5+ years from an adjacent industry to the table, if that gives perspective. WDYT? Thank you!
