Yes ask!
Be bold! You have not because you ask not!
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.)
If you don’t ask you don’t get.
Stop
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).
What’s not a crazy number? 20k? 50k? I don’t want to ask for something crazy
4th year cravath scale so 310k
