Might be a dumb question - but do most firms offer a signing bonus to experienced hires? For example, if moving from ACN to Deloitte or within MBB?

Brb, going to just cycle a different big4 firm every year for the rest of my career to collect those sweet signing bonuses

like

They were 5k across the board so not worth the year they make you commit to pay back if you leave early. Fwiw I was asked to pay one of my bonuses back but requested they prorate it and it worked

So non consulting (industry) firms also pay sign on bonuses? And roughly how much? 🤑

Out of bschool sign on bonuses were great. 30k usd or so for most consulting firms. Similar when jumping to industry from consulting?
