Sign on bonuses are discretionary and depend on the market and competition for the role at any given time. When quality candidates outnumber roles they are less likely to give sign on bonuses as they don’t need to

like

The only time I've really seen sign-on bonuses is where the person joining is losing a bonus at the old firm, and we try and compensate for that, or where the salary level is broadly similar for the same grade to try and sweeten the deal.

Yes it is normal. Just go back and ask about it.

Agreed with EY1 I was waiting for my bonus before moving to the next firm but the firm wanted me to started early so I asked them to match.

I got one starting at the senior level.

Sounds like a breach of their oral offer. Ask for it, if they duck then walk.

I didn’t think firms still did signing bonuses

I interviewed at KPMG on 11/14 and got a verbal offer the next day but since then waiting to hear from them. Been following up continuously but the partners are not replying it seems.

I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??
