How common is it for people to get a sign on bonus when joining Facebook in a non-tech (non legal) role around IC5 or IC6?
I’m non tech, I got a sign on bonus. Wasn’t in my original offer though. I had to negotiate for it.
Did you negotiate by explaining something you were leaving on the table at your old job like bonus or unvested stock?
Yes. I was leaving on the table unvested stock. I had to negotiate pretty hard though. But they should be willing to give you a sign on. Good luck!
Nowadays tech companies seem to give singing bonus, do you know to sing?
It has to be slated for the role.
Getting into FB from intel is itself a “bonus” :)) good luck
