They will likely not increase bonus target.

Explain your excitement for the role, express your confidence on crushing it. Share that you are strongly leaning towards accepting the offer, if they were to provide you X salary and Y signing bonus you are willing to accept on the spot.

You can also request a guaranteed bonus for year 1

Thank you! Should I offer the 135-140 range, or just one of those numbers? Sorry, I’ve never done this before
