I recently interviewed at a fast growing pre-IPO company for a Strategic PM role and I was sold that the comp should be around $180-200k plus RSU which should be about $300k annualized TC if all goes well. I have 14 years YOE in tech, but this would be my first intro to PM roles. How much signing bonus is reasonable to ask for if I am giving up on equity and quarterly commission pay to leave my current company?

You could be transparent and say, "this is what I'm giving up," and see how closely they match it

smart

Director 1 has the right idea. Calculate what you're giving up, and try to get them as close as possible to that number for a signing bonus. They may not match it exactly, but at least you'll have a logical starting off point.
