Ya you should. Depends on level but they’re not just going to hand you one. You need to come up with a case to justify (lost bonus, 401K vesting, lost RSUs, etc.)

I wouldn't expect it but I wouldn't be surprised either. Signing bonuses aren't just magic extra money vehicles. They are used to help the candidate recoup losses incurred by giving up existing comp coming their way or to true up total comp when the employer has to keep base salaries low.

And as a means to retain folks for at least a year (clawback, etc.), right?

huh I got almost 10k without even asking lmao

Yea, I expect a signing bonus in the consulting industry

Yes, they provide for a signing bonus. I know for sure because I got one after I joined the company.
