Received an offer for a Product Manager role from a midsized financial services company for $120k base + 15% bonus. Currently making $130k + 15% bonus in consulting with 4 yoe. Is this a good offer? Should I ask for more base or signing bonus? Or is this pretty fair? Very inexperienced in salary negotiations.

In this climate there is not much to negotiate to be honest. Every company is trying to layoff and having an offer is a blessing.

It’s not great. $120K + 15% bonus + $5K signing + ~12K equity is what I got after 1 YOE in consulting

like

For mid size company $120k + 15% bonus is good. It can be a bit better with sign-on bonus. ((For Google/Amazon, no, that’d be a terrible offer.))

It sounds like a good fair offer to me then

That sounds like it sucks honestly. Might as well wait it out in consulting and exit later.

I might ask for either 130k base or a 10-15k signon to offset the decrease in pay. Don't think they'll pull the offer for that request.

I am looking into the CCP (Certified Compensation Professional). It seems to be quite an expensive exam.

If anyone else is studying, let me know and maybe we can share study materials!

For those who have taken it, are there any cheaper or alternative study materials to any official guides you would recommend? I went this route with the PHR and SHRM-SCP and passed each on the both try, so I wanted to see if that method may be viable here. Any recommended order to take courses in?
