Too late to negotiate sign on bonus? I accepted verbal offer last week without any negotiation. I just got my written offer letter. Is it too late to go to my future boss and ask for a sign on bonus.
The offer met all my asks - title, base, bonus, etc. But leaving before Dec 31 means leaving money on table at current employer. The last bit of context is: this was a networking led job. I built relationship with the sr. Exec in this company, who then setup interviews and coordinated this process

Yup. I call it a lesson learned. Maybe you can renegotiate start date and leave current job after Dec 1 and not leave money on the table.

Did they give the#s before you verbally accepted

Yes! No mention of 0 sign on then though

Coming back after the acceptance for more is not a good look, especially if it was gained through networking. They may feel burned on that.

I wouldn’t ask for a sign on now. I would’ve been up front about whatever I was leaving on the table from my current employer at some point during the interview process so they could’ve considered that in their package

Yes, way too late.

Way too late. HR Folks don’t like wishy washy people. Yeah don’t ask since ship has sailed unless if you want them to pull the offer from you… potentially.

How come ZS do that? Why can't they pay more as they generally pay 15+ for 4.5 years experience.
