I need help understanding what is possible during the negotiation stage of a job search. Are sign on bonuses a thing? Stock (or at least discounts on stock)? Like, how can I milk our corporate overloads for all the value I can get? What’s possible in our industry?

I'd focus on negotiating as high a salary as you can (while still being reasonable) and PTO. Sign on bonuses are nice, but are usually for higher level roles and are, by definition, a one off. And stock benefits are pretty rare in this business, at least in my experience.

Not sure what VP is talking about, you can def get a huge raise at your level when switching companies. I’ve been able to negotiate a sign on bonus at one agency but I think that was because they really wanted/needed me, so that’s not always possible. I’ve never even thought about stock though

Yes you can get a raise by jumping agencies, obviously… but that’s not a sign on bonus or shares. And rarely at CW level. The market is flooded.

You’ll be lucky to get a cost of living increase after a year. Nothing else at CW level.

Salary, WFH & PTO (depending on the agency policy) are the likely areas. Negotiations for bonuses, stock, relo, severance or perks at non-VP levels aren’t really a thing.

Feeling a little burnt out lately with consulting. I’ve been in it for 4 years and have made it to manager. Earlier in my career I enjoyed the project hopping and knowing there was always something on the horizon. I’m now feeling like I really want to spend time honing my skills and building my team vs. always hopping onto the new thing.

I’m thinking of Big tech as being the next place for me but don’t really have any insight into how industry works compared to consulting.

Any advice? TIA
