My PwC offer letter didn’t include a signing bonus. Is this pretty standard for an experienced hire or should I ask for one to be included? What’s a typical signing/performance bonus for a manager?

Definitely ask. I’d ask for $20-30k. Depending on the offer.

Quick update. Asked for $10k and had it approved. No leverage on my end to negotiate

Good for you. Each situation differs in my case it was automatic.

Why will sign on bonus be automatic?

Exactly. This is something to be negotiated and I wouldn’t assume they would offer it

D1- Why would they not include it initially?

G1 & SM 1- Is this the same as relocation?

Alright, Op to help you out , here’s something that you can use to ask for sign on bonus. You are leaving your current network and going to another one where it will take days to build connections. This is a valid justification in my mind to demand sign on bonus.

You can always try! I got 20k as a senior consultant when I worked for PwC. Always negotiate it. It's not automatic and you have to ask.

I joined from industry and was given a 10k sign on without asking...

If the stock market were to tank, incl. all these ridiculous tech valuations, how do you guys think compensation packages will move in competitive fields such as IBD, consulting, big tech?

Based on current environments, I’ve two hypotheses:
1. Comp packages in competitive fields will continue strongly due to: a. less supply of top talent (great resignation), b. less willingness to work demanding jobs (push for wlb), and c. Rising living costs - inflation
2. Comp packages will get readjusted…
