What is reasonable to ask for as a sign on bonus at a senior level for relocation costs? For example, moving from New York to California for a job.

That's what I was thinking... I would have to get a car too... hmm... I guess it would be worth it if rent wouldn't be too high.

Where to where? ^

That's a big jump in COL @PwC2

1. Relocation should not be part of signing bonus. 2. In all likelihood, a good relocation package would mean less of a signing bonus. 3. Someone in tax can confirm but I'd suggest trying to get the relocation bonus to be paid as a reimbursement of actual cost so it's not taxed. Unless you're moving on a shoestring budget and the relocation bonus is more than you plan to spend.

Not sure about industry but PwC doesn't pay relo bonus. They pay a sign on bonus that can be used for whatever. Internal transfers may be supported by relo packages. Sign on bonus is less hassle for the employer and it is capped. They have less control over how lavishly you travel.
