I'm expecting an offer for a great job, and have already successfully negotiated the salary. My husband told me to ask for a signing bonus because it's something they do sometimes. I'm just worried about coming across wrong. What's the best way to ask them about it?

The time to do this would have been while you were negotiating salary. Look at it from the company's POV. They already agreed to your salary request, the negotiations ended, and now you're trying to open them back up to secure a signing bonus on top of the increased salary? If they really want you, maybe that's not a big deal, but I wouldn't want to risk seeming like a headache and potentially losing the offer over it.

Yeah I'm an idiot, somehow skipped right past that part when I saw this earlier. Disregard OP. It's worth a try.

If they really want you worst thing it can happen is they’ll say no, just ask

Professionally ask if that's something they even do. Honestly, signing bonuses are not happening much anymore. Less incentive for employers because the market is in their favor.

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?

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?
