Received an offer to join a T2 firm as an experienced hire (5 years exp no MBA). Base is 160K with negotiable signing bonus. Is 20K a reasonable ask?

Take a bigger swing and tell them why you’re worth it. Make the case for $100K and if you land at $50K it was well worth it. I’ll gladly accept a 10% finders fee for this advice.

funny

are you currently at ZS?

Nope

And your location

NY!

Which firm?

OW in NY!

Can you negotiate the 160k?

Did you try? I got my last offer up $20K on signing and $14K on base by just sending 2 emails and 1 call

Based on the call I had w the recruiter, seems like signing bonus is where the wiggle room is versus base. Doesn’t hurt to try for another 5-10K, but what’s been communicated makes me want to push harder on signing bonus.

My recruiting pipeline is around the same comp level (includes nonconsulting opps) so feels hard to justify a substantial increase in base

Ask for at least 35k sign on bonus. Personally I’d ask for 40k. I have a buddy who started at a much lower base and negotiated a 30k sign on bonus. SEND IT

Source: work at OW

Of course, for real though, ask for 40k

A firm approached me with an offer because I had worked with some partners who recently joined. They said it’s not really a “practice” of the firm to guarantee the bonus and that they want to properly incentivize people to hit hours… but I now have data from current associates and ones who had offers (including recently this past month) who received guarantees — nothing exceptional about their circumstances either.

How do I respectfully present that data in a counteroffer?

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.
