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

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Additional Posts in Compensation

Just had a compensation discussion with my manager. I work at a big fortune 50 company. I met expectations and got back my compensation review receiving a 3% merit increase.

My boss knows I’m disappointed, and I asked to setup a follow up convo. We talked about inflation being 7.5% and I’m losing purchase power.

Other details:
Started last Jan 2021
Switching to a new role in a few weeks (manager said to talk to my new manager, LOL)
But we only have compensation adjustments once per year
