I have an offer to work at a great Fintech. It’s manager title and I’m happy with the 33% pay bump. However, they want me to start asap which means I’ll miss out on my bonus and promo to SC (comes in Oct).

1. Should I be asking for a sign on bonus? I know tech is a bit strapped right now
2. Has anyone ever received their bonus even though they left one month before? It’s a late EOY bonus for the work done in FY2022 (I know this is weird, just how it is)

Thanks!

I’d give them two options:
1. Pay your estimated bonus to you and you’ll join asap
2. They can wait

This

1. Yes, ask for a signing bonus.
2. I've never heard of a big 4 paying out a former employee like that.

Consider some creative solutions. Example: Tell D you need an LOA so you're still an employee. Then start at fintech (no LinkedIn post!), and be employed at both places with fintech permission so you stay an employee of D till payout. Quit after payout.

They can wait for you. If not you don’t want to work there

Thanks all. I did mention the October bonus and asked about the flexibility of start date (aka starting late November/early Dec) but no offer of a potential sign on bonus to cover. Bit nervous about being so direct and I’m worried they’ll just take someone else instead of me if I don’t accept or bargain too hard…

Which fintech? I interviewed with a big one recently and the pay was really low

Which one did you do?

Op why would you push for an early Dec start? You just need to be employed for the bonus. What is the payout date? As an employer I have no problem waiting
6-8 weeks for someone, but 14 is pushing it.

Most of APAC has a 4 week notice period!

So sounds like you already asked for a sign on and didnt get anything? Based on your reply above, you should just take the offer.

On your #2, I actually quit my B4 job about 3 weeks before the bonus payout date and managed to get my partner to still pay me. Granted it was only 3k-4k but i still appreciated the flexibility!

Thanks for your reply! That’s awesome - how did you present your case to get them to pay you?! Also, update - my new company ended up giving me a sign on bonus without me asking! Happy days
