You need to request one?
Is Lucid Air under production now?
CCIV Price target?
Competing offer
Yes. Its usually part of CTC. If you are not comfortable with the offer, you can try to negotiate if you can give him any good reason otherwise they usually dont change.
Saw a role at Comcast that’s a good fit. Can I dm you?
Sign ons can be justified in several ways: - competing offers - upcoming vesting or bonus in your current employer, and you make the case that if they give you the sign on you won't wait until that date and start earlier - comp negotiations, if their TC can't match your goals, they can sweeten the deal with increased TC for the first year via the bonus
What about difference in relocation amounts between offers ?
Good one too!
You don't request. You tell them you're worth it. Best way is to get competing offers
I got mine by literally just asking. I’ve benefitted a lot by just asking outright for more $, regardless of whether I had competing. Google/fb in particular might be a different story, much more effective to have competing
When you get to offer stage and when they offer, just ask!!
What I did was ask “What about the signing bonus?” And then the recruiter “remembered” about it.
lmao well played
Have seen this in a friend's case too. I should have done it but didn't knew at that time. Apparently all HRs "forget" this while making an offer. Its a side-effect of taking too much Vitamin M.

I asked for a bump in my base, and they gave me a combo of signing bonus and increases base
Why do you think you deserve a hiring bonus? Best answer is from Uber down below btw.
The same reason you think you deserve a job at Google
But I am not asking how to request a job at google, am I?
