I just received a Director level offer from a firm, but there is no signing bonus. Is that unusual?

If taking the offer causes you to miss an upcoming bonus at you old firm or there is a waiting period before you are eligible for a bonus at the new firm then a signing bonus should make up the difference.

Definitely ask, but right now there’s such supply of qualified white collar workers looking for jobs that firms don’t need to be as competitive with sign on bonuses like they did in the past.

You clearly havent been in a position where you were negotiating benefits on multiple fronts besides salary and bonus.

Did you ask for a signing bonus and not get it? or did you not even ask?

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours? I need to be able to leave work at 4pm to pick up my son from daycare, but i can get back online at home to resume any unfinished work at 8pm. Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!
