What’s a fair ask for sign on bonuses? What did you request for and what did you manage to get? Reason I’m apprehensive is because this job allows me to relocate, hence I’m not sure if I have much of a negotiating power here

Signing bonus in cash (not equity or relocation) are very rare, esp. if you move to a traditional corporate

They likely won’t offer it but it’s something you can negotiate , don’t be afraid to if it’s not part of the other

Hi Guys,
I have joined Ofss 1 week back and on second day itself I was allocated to project and onboarding WIP I received mail stating to report back to office 3 days per week under hybrid work model
policy.Is this compulsory my base location is 2600 km from my current location as I am joining the citi project its seems difficult for me to grasp things though I have only 1 yr of prior exp by I think my team is expecting a lot so moving to new city and learning at same time is not possible .

I’ve always been a big saver minimum 15% to maxing out my 401k since I graduated college. I’m married to someone who thinks 6% is enough and likes $$$ cars. Other than the cars, they dont really spend money. For the married 🐠, how do you have the conversation with them that what they are doing isn’t enough? I try to guide them and say you want the $$$ cars but the salary you have won’t get there and you’re going to have to find a job that gets them the salary…. Then the fight starts.
