Received an offer from KPMG that I intend to take but noticed there was no sign on bonus. Is it not standard for them to give sign on bonuses for experienced hires? Is it worth asking for it? The base salary is already well within my expectations but I just assumed I was also getting sign on.

I am starting at KPMG soon. I asked for a signing bonus and got denied.

Same

You have to ask for it. If you don’t ask for it they will not give it to you.

They said no. It’s fine though. I just finally broke 6 figures in my career so a one time sign on bonus won’t dampen my mood!

like

I know, I’m so excited!!

Plenty of experienced hires get bonuses

Must ask

Ugh. Okay. I’ll call early tomorrow to get it fixed! Ready to exit!

No harm in asking. You can even play and tell that your quarterly bonus is due in mid October and would be appealing if kpmg covered the bonus that you would be foregoing

I’m waiting on an offer for what’s named IT Business Analyst but it’s also Salesforce Administrator work. The company is The Adecco group so they are fairly big. I have two years of Salesforce admin experience and in my interview they said my experience is perfect to what they are looking for

So my questions is, I think they are going to offer around 80k but I don’t think their going to be guaranteed bonuses with the offer. Should I negotiate a bonus to the salary or negotiate a higher salary?

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position.

I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

I'm leaning Bizops since it's more similar to consulting and may be a smoother transition, but what's the career path there, if you already enter at a Director level? Would Operations position me better for future roles and complement my consulting exp?
