Amazon Sign In Bonus

My recruiter says due to some reason the sign in bonus couldn't be paid at the beginning. Instead it will be divided by 12 and paid monthly. I would like to have it at the beginning, is this something that can be negotiated? Thanks

Is that Amazon specific rule?

That’s not a signing bonus that’s called regular salary

Not so fast, SSO doesn’t count.

As far as I know, everyone’s sign-on bonus is paid monthly

My offer was a up front signing bonus.

Along with a dumbass vesting cycle for rsus, there's a dumbass allotment for signing bonus. Getting sign in bonus up front allows you to invest it. Sigh.

I get -$1 every time I press that God damn Yubikey

Your contract will say you owe back any unearned bonus if you leave before two years, so getting it up front (even if you could) is a bit of a risk if you plan to spend it.

At Google you only have to stay a year
