Is this Offer good for SR manager?

Sr Manager offer for DFW in SAP Technology. Is this compensation good?
210 Base 40K Joining Bonus and 40K RSU
9 to 11% Bonus

The base is not changing much for me. I am Senior Managing Consultant at IBM.

Never saw IBM giving 10% bonus for last 10 years anyway. But heard Accenture gives 15K roughly to SM.

Tried to negotiate but Accenture is not willing to change base. They added 10K in RSU and Joining to make 40 each.

Anyone taken REG this Q yet and can give insight on what areas were heavily tested on for you? It's my last exam and I'm on a marathon to pass it before FAR expires. First time I took it last November resulted in me getting a 74 and losing all motivation to study after being so close to finishing, so I honestly haven't touched Becker in almost a year and don't even remember which areas are the big ticket ones to focus on. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so. After a week of interviews with the team (softball-esq), I was informed that if I wanted to join, they would bring me on at a lower title. I’m not sure about comp yet. But if comp is still an increase + experience at a public..
