I might take a new job where I know a partner at the new firm. I didn’t go through a recruiter and I’m a 4th year in DC. My offer says I can get a prorated bonus at the end of the year but doesn’t mention a signing bonus. Can I ask for one and if so what’s reasonable? I didn’t apply anywhere else. I’m switching about mid-year. (Also if I’m being honest I probably am not going to get my bonus this year at my current firm because work has been slow)

Figure out what you’re forgoing (i.e., the bonus you could have made minus the pro rated bonus) and ask for that. (Unless you’ve told new firm you’re not getting a bonus at the old firm.)

Every time I've asked recruiters told me it was ambitious, but I did it anyways and got the full asking price without negotiation. So I would just be bold and ask as long as I could pin it to something reasonable (e.g., asking for the equivalent of your year end bonus to be made whole plus to account for risk of not hitting hours during ramp up period).
