Looking for negotiation advice.

Received an offer with 150k base and 25k bonus. Had a negotiation call where I requested a 10-15% base bump for merit/BATNA reasons. They were receptive.

Follow up call they provided a 13% base increase + an unexpected 41% bonus decrease.

Is this common practice? Any thoughts on countering this? Any specific language you would use?

I realize I never accounted for this scenario and that's on me! Hoping for advice on how best to move forward.

If it’s either or, I would take the increase in the base as that stays and impacts your future growth. Bonus will be one time payout and given your salary range mostly taxed at ~50% (unless you are planning to move it to RRSP)

Oh right, for internal increments it makes sense

Keep in mind you may not get any raise next year as you are getting an “extra” this year. Keep that in mind as you decide

Looks like your TC will be higher now. Also Bonus are never guaranteed and at least your base is. You are probably at the higher salary range for your band/ level and deceased your bonus to give you a higher base. TC looks to be a max they can offer

Ask for the difference in a signing bonus maybe. Looks like $10K? Seems fair.

6 years at a start up and the first to break through Mm and now Ent accounts. I broke the comp plan. I was paid a lower commission rate as the first rep hitting high numbers. The guys behind me they adjusted commission rates and spiffed them to equal and in some cases surpass my pay. My revenue as the top rep is a full third higher than the number 2 rep. To save their asses they promoted me and gave me a small base bump but kept my commissions % low so that my high number was my new at plan.
