It’s not “in what world..” it is “in what Market conditions…”

It is supply demand. The tables have turned from excess demand to excess supply therefore the equation changes.

I wasnt offered one but I tried to ask for 10k more base and we settled on 10k signing bonus

If I hadn’t stated the ask, it would have never came up.

You have to negotiate. Why would anyone just offer it?

That’s what I’m doing. I was told they didn’t want to give one, so I’m negotiating.

Got one everywhere else though

Deloitte mentioned they would give me a sign-on bonus at hire since I’m currently getting paid more than the base GPS consulting role.

I never got a call back.

We don’t offer them as a rule.

Let me edit to be specific to the consulting space. I never got a sign-on when I was in industry no matter the Fortune rank.

I received a sign on when I left consulting and went to industry. It was ~15% of base.

Hi All! Looking for some advice. I am a manager a country club but I do everything. I’m in charge of outside events and member events, in charge of the front of house staff, scheduling, ordering and membership sales for the club. I feel I am very underpaid at $45k. I do get commission but it’s very low ($10k give or take for the year). I work 6/7 days a week sometimes 10+ hrs/day. I’ve been researching salaries to be able to negotiate higher pay. I want to ask for $60k-is this reasonable?
