Some companies may still offer signing bonuses to attract top talent, while others have reduced or eliminated them due to budget constraints. It never hurts to ask during the negotiation process, but don't be surprised if it's not offered.

Still on the table, I recently had a company offer me $20k signing bonus.

It really depends on the company and the current job market. Some companies are still offering them, but the amount may have decreased, or the criteria for receiving one may have become more stringent.

There are still around, especially if a company wants to recruit someone that already has a job, for example. I wouldn't move to a company for a small salary raise, so there has to be extra motivation (AKA, sign-up bonus + stocks). But it depends on how desperate you are.

The criteria have changed with a lot of layoffs and new budgets. Nowadays, only top talent before my company can offer to entry-level candidates.

I don’t think you’ll see it these days. One role is often getting a thousand applicants.

Can confirm, still on the table. The majority of my recent offers have had signing bonuses or commission guarantees.

These were all for recruited roles, though, and I feel that’s probably an important distinction.

I'm seeing signing bonuses less and less, I think they're more common in finance/tech on the engineering side or whatever but not for sales unless you're super senior

Quality costs. Desperation is free. Not easy to be in the job market in the short term. I think bonuses will exist for candidates that have true value, differators, and abilities. The line of value may get pulled up a bit. Indeed’s client base would probably be affected. I don't see this impacting executives who leverage LinkedIn and other more modern agile tools and services.

So yes, role and industry-specific but there will be some impacts.
