MBB 🐠
At which point in the hiring process do you negotiate salary (I suppose room only to negotiate relocation/sign-on)
Any idea of what sign-on (%of base) I should aim for? South East Asia offices

BCG here - salaries and bonuses are fixed by cohort so there’s no traditional negotiation of salary except in rare cases where you’re coming in senior (partner+) . You can negotiate relocation and sign on but usually there’s not a ton of leverage unless you’re cross offered. My recollection is that relocation was a formula based thing based on distance moved - think I got 15k usd moving from sea to NYC back in the day but that was an internal transfer. Signing is probably where there’s room to negotiate but no idea what the %s are. Talk to some recent b school hires and start with their signing bonuses as a % of base since that’s where the richest signing numbers usually are.

How difficult is it to transfer from overseas offices to US offices such as NY office?

Entering at the associate / Consultant level

Partner one is right at least for BCG, zero flexibility.
That being said it’s a lot of money, raises come quickly if you’re good, and the bonuses are nice when you’re doing well.
