That seems reasonable to me. Especially if you are towards the end of your fiscal year and walking away from a bonus. I would want at least that to leave D right now because it’s 2 months until year end/bonus payout.

That’s massive

A&M, that's not a sign on bonus. Also, your math is confusing.... Missing $25K.

I've heard of $100k for some people but believe that was at an I-bank and the understanding was it would go to pay off their MBA.

At face value, it’s good but not massive. There’s a big difference if it’s for SM or Director title. There’s also a big difference if you’re an SM going for a Director role vs. Director for director. If the latter, it’s low. For a lateral move, it would require more to justify a switch plus signing bonus should take into account the bonus you’ve accrued so far. Good luck.

Not sure if they're still doing that. It was last year to bring TC into the range I was looking for. It's 40/yr at the end of each of the 1st two years.

I'm operating under the assumption that I'll look at how competitive the TC is at that point vs the likelihood of actually hitting P in a few years and decide from there.

Job offer extended but now some red flags… I was extended an offer today with a pay raise and great benefits. It’s in a field that interests me more but, now some red flags have come up. They voided my offer after asking for time off way in advance in December of this year & the pay that was discussed on the phone is different from my offer letter. I asked the recruiter to clarify and she said I must’ve not heard her correctly on the phone. I’m not having second thoughts… I was excited.

Hey everyone, looking for some advice. I’ve been working as a RC for a tech company for 15 months making 45k (I know I’m underpaid) and I’m looking to pivot. I feel really burnt out in this role and would love to transition to something else, perhaps another department. I don’t really want to be in an entry level role again, so what kinds of jobs should I be looking at where I can transfer over my skills easily? I also have customer service experience but would love to stay away from that. TIA!
