Yes. Signing bonus is one time, while your base sets your comp trajectory during your tenure at the firm. A higher base can cost the firm many multiples of what a signing bonus costs.

likehelpful

Higher base is generally better for the employee due to total base trajectory - over the course of your career you’d likely make more.
Obviously this is not as good for the employer… hence the signing bonus

Yes. Signing bonuses get people in the door, and then the companies hope that complacency and intangibles keep people for low bases. The sad part is that it is actually an effective strategy because most workers aren’t willing to move around enough to take advantage of it.

Think you meant higher salary instead of higher bonus

Yeah. D kept throwing a higher signing bonus at me and I just kept pushing that I wanted the higher base salary, idgaf about signing bonus
