If I leave a firm and am losing out on $40K of unvested 401k matches, can that full amount be negotiated as a sign on bonus for the new role? Or are unvested retirement balances typically not made whole?

Anything can be negotiated and things like that are pretty commonly negotiated, so give it a try! Would not seem unreasonable

How can you possibly be losing out on 40k?
Does your firm match that much? You are implying that you are not fully vested so question the 40k from the firm.
Remember any money you put in you get to keep/take (transept to IRA or me firms 401k)
The only money that you can't take is the money your firm puts in. Also, depending on how long you stayed you could still be part heated (20%, 40%, 60%). Look into your firm's policies.

Now you clarify :)

How long have you been with the firm that in an unvested period unvested part has grown to 40k? Perhaps so. Could happen if the stock price has gone up a lot.

As far as can you negotiate - everything is negotiable.
Depends on if your new firm wants to negotiate. Do they want you that bad?

Pwc is lose all match if <2 years. Lose 80% 2-3. Lose 60% 3-4. Lose 40% 4-5. With stock market appreciation it’s pretty easy to lose that much there

I work in accounting/finance and have been at my company for over 10 years. I am planning to leave and put in my notice right after I receive my bonus which is right around when “busy season” starts.

Any tips? I don’t want to burn bridges with the non-toxic folks.
