When going to the big 4 as an experienced senior, is a signing bonus typical or does one have to be asked for?

Usually they will include about 5K but you will need to negotiate to make it higher. If they know you were laid off or they are trying to be cheap, you can always ask for it.

When I came in as a senior, they initially offered $5k, but I negotiated it to $10k.

I was def low balled, I only got 2.5k sign on and was happy about it
