I am posting this here and in the HR group. At what point in the interviewing/hiring/offer stage do you try to negotiate a sign on bonus? Is there a specific position level within the company before they’d even consider offering one to a candidate? Thanks!

I always negotiate before signing the offer letter.

Very true! Thank you.

Agree with PC1 above. I would negotiate that before signing the offer letter. There isn't really a specific position level where they will or will not. It never hurts to ask for one.

You can always ask. The worst thing that happens is that the answer is no. It’s important to keep it friendly and professional. You can do this

Hi Fishes,

On my LinkedIn, I'm noticing every 3rd post is about hiring. I was under the impression that due to fear of recession, there is an unofficial hiring freeze. Are you guys noticing the same? Has anything in the job market changed? Would love everyone's opinion on this.

I don’t imagine we’ll have kids for another 5 years, but is the time and money invested in the MBA worth it?

I heard it’s not good to bash other companies but I genuinely do not know how to explain why I want to leave without my current company getting bashed. Should I just put it all out there or keep it vague?
