If you’re lateraling as a 3rd year, do you get a sign on bonus, end of year bonus, or both? How common is it to negotiate both of these?

It's very typical to negotiate a market EOY bonus when lateraling, though given that we're already into October they may just tell you to come over after you get your bonus from your current firm.

Whether there is a signing bonus for a 3rd year really depends on how hot the lateral market is and how desperate the firm is.

I negotiated both. I lateraled earlier this year. I got a sign on and negotiated my full bonus for prorated hours.

I lateraled as a third year this summer and got both. I also negotiated guaranteed EOY bonus regardless of hours. I would say it depends on the market, your marketability, and the firm’s needs. Currently, I think it will be hard to negotiate for both. But considering that EOY is probably higher than what you would get for a signing bonus, it may be worth at least negotiating for guaranteed EOY bonus, depending on when you lateral and whether your firm already paid out your bonus.

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
