Just got a tech offer (not big tech) in NYC with base $120K and signing bonus $15K. Should I ask for a higher base and signing at the same time or only ask for a higher signing bonus if they turn down my base increase? I'd be satisfied w/ a 10-15% increase tbh, so should I start with 20% or more than than (what % do companies typically go down from your counter offer?)? Thanks!

I always only negotiate base > equity > bonus.

Rookie advice. Always ask for more equity if there was only one lever.

That sounds kind of low. How much YOE?

I feel like non tech roles you’d still get RSU. If you can squeeze 15-20k a year of RSU that might be more acceptable.

It’s not a bad offer probably 60ish percentile but I feel like you can do a little better

That’s what my offer got negotiated up to. Was offered 110 plus equity. I got same equity but 120 base and 5 sign on. Small size tech in nyc

Negotiate both at the same time. Picking one or the other means you’re fine with that and won’t look to adjust moving forward.
