Sign-on bonus? Across FAANG I notice some people get sign on bonus without negotiating, some get with negotiation and some straight up get none even with negotiating.

What’s the deal with signon across FAANG is it always on the table or is it per team or depending on the group you’re targeting or just how well you do on interviews?

I had multiple offers from Amazon, Meta, Amex I told my Meta recruiter this they didn’t even ask for the numbers at the other firms my Meta offer was the best

When I was negotiating my offer at Facebook in 2019 they told me they didn't have a sign-on bonus, but when I played hardball and told them I wasn't impressed with the initial offer, a sign-on bonus magically appeared (along with a much higher base and RSU grant). It was a situation though where they had reached out to me, and it was a hard to fill role, so I had more leverage than someone who applied on their own.

Not every place offers it but you can always ask if it isn't being advertised that they have one. I have seen people negotiate it into their offer when there wasn't originally a bonus on the table.

It really depends on the company and timing. Sometimes it's available, sometimes it's not, sometimes people are savvy and get it in negotiation.

I agree. I negotiated my sign on the last time.

Being upfront about expectations can go a long way with initial recruitment. It's like any bargain, though what you're offering is your skillset and knowlege base. If you're getting a lot of offers its because you're a plume pick, and you should be able to talk openly about whether they're offering sign in bonuses from the get-go.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
