I was recently laid off and will be applying to a lateral move position that pays around $250k total comp. I got a $20k hiring bonus at my last position. How much should I ask for a signing bonus in this new company? Is there a common amount for this level role (very experienced sr mgr)?

I would try to check online to see if it sounds like they typically do sign-on bonuses. I think a lot of companies have not only lowered pay for many jobs but have done away with perks like sign-on bonuses. I'd hate for someone else to lose an offer for asking for something that used to be commonplace (because I've heard of more than a few people losing offers for even negotiating which is ridiculous).

Agree with this!!

I make around the same amount and I've never gotten a sign on bonus. I think it really depends on the company and what they are willing to give you. It's hard for us to say though, that would need to come from the company directly.

I agree with Deloitte 1. I would see if that is even something they do because they may not give a sign-on bonus. It doesn't hurt to ask but if they don't typically do them I wouldn't ask for too much.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?
