My ‘24 total comp was $200k ($135k base + $65k bonus). Base this year was raised to $150k; no clarity on bonus until it’s paid out in March 26. Have a super day at a new firm in 2 weeks, with base comp range of $200-275k, and a bonus that is “a substantial piece of the overall comp.” Given this, how would you go about approaching negotiations to achieve a $275k min. all-in comp? I was thinking $240-$260k target base, and a conservative est. of $25k for bonus, but would appreciate any thoughts

Also, any thoughts on trying to negotiate a sign-on bonus, given that I’ll forego a ~$60k bonus at my current role if I receive an offer in the coming weeks?

I think it’s very fair to ask directly. I have seen others do this and have it be phrased as a sign on bonus to “make you whole” or even out what you would have lost by leaving your current role

I think you have a good plan. Whether or not they will go for it remains to be seen. But it seems reasonable to me.

I definitely agree with your plan. It seems like you have really thought it through and have a great plan. Best of luck to you.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly.

I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
