I’m going to be making an exit soon to a company that’s working hard to recruit me in. I’m in an AE position. I’d be forfeiting $18k in RSUs vesting, President’s club, and $200k+ in pipeline if I do move. I’m inclined to leave because this would be a step up in a role and I really like the team.

My question is: is it reasonable to ask for a $40k sign on bonus to account for what I’m leaving here? How do you go about negotiating that?

What are the salaries for the current and new job?
Are they the same role or is the new one a higher title/more responsibility?

The salaries would be higher than mine, but not astronomical. This would be a step up with title and base though.

smart

Is the $200k in compensation or booking revenue?

Ahhh...I'm presuming you make 20% on this deal, because of the ask to receive a $40k signing bonus. That's a reasonable request. You'll soon find out if they're willing to wait or pay. Of course, "wait" = commission in your bank account, which could take months.

Are any firms paying sign-on bonuses? I'm currently interviewing for several in-house roles (FAANG) and sign-on bonuses seem to be the norm. This coupled with stock awards really blows my current Cravath-scale salary out of the water. Not sure why we keep perpetuating the myth that the money is only at firms. Sure, it's probably true for the 5% who will be equity partners, but for the rest of us it seems like in-house can be just as lucrative or even better.
