Just went through this. They likely won’t budge on salary (they use a cohort model), but signing bonus can definitely be negotiated.

Good to know! How do I go about setting a reasonable target for signing bonus? I was thinking of asking for at least the amount of my performance bonus from last year

How much is sign on negotiable? I was seeing 30k standard for post mba/experienced hire.

I was told no negotiations from the jump. Sign on was 30k as an experienced hire. Do you mind sharing your offer? Mine was 175k, MCOL and 15YOE

Yeah, I’ve been doing consulting the entire 11 years, split about evenly between fed and commercial.

Congrats. How long was your process?

I've applied but am waiting to hear back. I guess given that now they're focused on MBA hiring all I have to do is patiently wait

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
