Anyone who has recently resigned from ibm? When you initiare a separation process from workday, it goes to manager for approval. I asked HR and there is a due date mentioned on that process. Does that mean that if manager does not approve before the due date, my resignation is declined? What is the impact and what is meant by that due date? IBM

That’s not usually how it works… You can try, but the typical company is most willing to negotiate first on equity, then sign on, then base. Sign on is a one time expense for the company vs. a $10k higher base that’s a recurring expense. It’s in the company’s best interest to minimize base and flex on other parts of the comp package.
Usually, if you asked for a higher base, they might counter with a higher sign on, so that you still get more money, but it’s less expensive for them in the long run.
As a candidate, you should always push for higher base, but recognize that it’s usually the least flexible part of an offer.
I’m in a similar situation. I negotiated and they upped the equity by quite a bit but only a small increase in base. Would def want a bigger base, so I guess what % increase in base is realistic?
