I know signing bonuses are common in Consulting, but what about when moving to industry? Think Director+ roles

They’re common in industry too. I had one below a manager level in industry

Signing bonus at every level at FAANG. Amazon’s are so big they distract from other, weaker parts of the offer letter

What about non-FAANG? BoA? CAT? Other Fortune 500 companies?

Pardon the stupid question, but I’ve never had an offer with a signing bonus. Is that something that generally gets offered up front, or does it come later in negotiations if you can’t agree on other factors to sweeten the deal?

I have a period of time (~2 years) where I worked multiple part time jobs. One job was with a FAANG so that’s easy to put on my resume. But the others included a couple non profits (mainly digital marketing), then multiple contracts with clients doing things like business development, APIs, websites, etc. How can I combine these “side gigs” under a single title/experience? Business Consultant? Say I ran a consulting agency? Business Dev Engineer? I’m lost. I don’t want to embellish or undermine.

i have two offers, 115k and 105k. I would prefer the 105k job but they can’t match the 115k from my other offer. Has anyone ever left 10k at the table? I live in NYC Btw

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
