What will be in hand salary.???

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

Calculate what you are leaving on the table (stock and bonus). That becomes the basis for the sign on bonus ask.
At one of my previous companies I left $30k of RSUs and $20k of bonus. I received $50k of sign on. Some deferred and the rest at my first day. Keep in mind it is usually stipulated that if I left before 24 months I had to repay what I was given
As a recruiter, I look at this a bit differently. A sign-on bonus and an annual performance bonus serve two completely different corporate functions; a sign-on is a one-time incentive to bridge a gap, whereas an annual bonus is performance-driven. Furthermore, equity/stock is a premium benefit, not a standard entitlement for every position.
In today’s highly competitive candidate market, securing a strong offer with multiple bonus components is a major win. If you previously stated you were comfortable with the compensation package, coming back to negotiate micro-details can signal a lack of alignment to the hiring team. My advice? Recognize the value of the offer on the table, appreciate the stability it offers in this market, and accept it gracefully.
Why are you just going to ask the recruiter now instead of at an earlier point in the process ? Ask them and see what they say, but I believe you forgot to ask earlier in the process ? I could be wrong, but that's not something the employer offers ?
Yes, that makes perfect sense, so the person would be crazy to ask at this point
You just ask??? Greedy much? How else do you request something?
Good Lord leave happy than what you have, man!!!!
