When negotiating a sign on bonus with a new firm based on the fact that you were anticipating a bonus for that fiscal year and are leaving before that is paid out, do you have to do anything to prove you would have actually received a bonus/the amount of bonus you would have received?

Two different questions. No you would not be asked to prove you would actually have received bonus (ie met hours requirement). But as far as amount, if it is lockstep and you allege you would receive more, might be a tough sell.

Thanks. I am in the final stages of interviews and pretty sure I will get an offer. My current firm's fiscal year ends in May, with bonus paid in June. Bonus is based on hours over par, so I'm not sure what that would be at this point.

Hi all,
Wanted to know the range of salary for consultant specialist role? Yoe 10+

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
