I have read that many companies may provides candidates with a “golden hello” (sign on bonus) when joining the company. I’m not sure whether this is something that depends on the company, the seniority of the role or the industry of the role itself before I could attempt to negotiate this?

Fully dependent on years of experience, bonus and equity candidate is walking away from. As an entry level coordinator be thrilled with $5-10k but don’t expect anything if you’re not leaving anything on the table leaving your current employer

So, our company will ask for screen shots or other evidence of your expected bonus at year end to validate your request. This is to prevent, “my bonus is $50k with my current employer, can you make me whole ( new employer)?” But the actual bonus may be $20k and the candidate is trying to get as much as they can when negotiating their new offer.

When discussing expected comp, you can ask if there is opportunity for sign on bonus. This is often used to "make you whole" if you are walking away from a bonus at your current job, or if new job cant fully meet your comp expectations.

Thank so much for the advice, I’ve noted it down and will take it on board.

Additional Posts in Negotiating Offers

Hi Fellow Fishes! I need some urgent advice. I had accepted a job offer at a really good company with a good role and team. I am due to start that new job on Monday 30th Aug. Now the thing is I have a better job offer from one of my dream companies-i would be really stupid not to take that offer. So I would be declining the job at the first company just 2 days before i am supposed to start! I know its a good problem to have but a very unpleasant conversation with them. How do i soften the blow?
