amazon regularly pays out signing bonuses in the $300k-$500k range

Mostly in vested stock. Still great but definitely not cash.

$0.00

25k, 25%

Which firm?

20k sign on, 90k base.

For all those who received signing bonuses, was it part of the initial and overall offer from the hiring company (ie. You didn’t have to ask for it)? Or did you have to ask for it directly?

Yes part of offer

35k, 120k base

Know if the signing bonus concept for first job out of b-school - does it continue with the next one as well?

Yes - any new job has the potential to grant signing bonus - it’s typically a “make whole” negotiation since you’re leaving your current company bonus on the table

My company historically paid base comp and bonus based on years out of law school. Level 1 is 1-9, and Level 2 is 10+. Diff if $50k+, easily. My team’s work isn’t distributed any differently based on seniority, and we’re all doing the same subject matter. We have a new GC changing it so bonus can be higher (but not lower) if you take on more work.

Do you think this is a fair system? Is it right to push for equal comp, especially given that there’s a new reward system for doing more work?
