Is it reasonable to ask for £60K + £8k signing bonus for a £50K offer at a boutique?

Recently performed well in an internship (best in my cohort according to hiring manager) and am hoping this translates to an offer. Starting salary is usually around £50k but I know many on the team I joined with the same years of experience earn £60k

I don't want to ask for a crazy increase but I want to ask for more with a view to being okay with them negotiating somewhere in the middle

I’ve never heard of anywhere that will let you negotiate a grad-level hire so be prepared for them to laugh at it / not have leeway.

If the typical salary range is up to 60k and you’ve demonstrated strength, then it’s not unlikely they will be open to that.
Do they do sign on bonuses? If that’s not typical you may not be able to push for that.

like

Thank you! Useful to know. I'll try figure out if they do sign on bonuses before asking for that part of comp in that case

Do you have another offer in hand as leverage?

Got a few interviews coming up so fingers crossed. How would you go about bringing up a competing offer in a diplomatic way?

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.
