If you just got an offer letter and haven’t accepted yet, is it too late to ask for a bigger singing bonus? Looking to raise it to 15k from 10k for a manager role at the Big 4, 145k base. They said I won’t be eligible for a year end bonus.

Definitely do it. I once negotiated post-offer letter and ended up getting myself an extra 20% on Year 1 TC.

Yes, ask for $20k and hope for $15k counter. Just say that it’s in light of you giving up bonus at your current spot and not getting bonus for this round of payouts.

Doesn’t hurt to ask. Not like your team will really even remember you asking and that sounds like a reasonable amount.

I think you can do that, but ask for 20k. Tell them your bonus ended up being higher than you anticipated, and that's a lot of cash to leave on the table.

Not being eligible for a bonus and working in consulting sucks. You want some skin in the game… ask for some stock options…something more than just your salary. Good luck

Stock options at B4..?

I'm a brand new attorney (passed the Feb 2021 bar) who started an in-house counsel position a few months ago (where my focus is negotiating agreements for the sale of my company's software). I was a contracts manager on an in-house team for 4 years prior, which is why I was able to go straight in-house. I'm entirely skipping out on firm life, which feels both good and bad. Is there anything I should think about getting experience in? How should I go about making sure I am seeing enough things?
