I asked for $125k base for an Assistant Controller role, and they came back with $110k base plus a $15k sign-on bonus. A sign-on bonus does absolutely nothing when next year's percentage raises are calculated. Plus, if the job is a nightmare and I leave before 12 months, I have to pay it back. Would you accept?

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
