Does IBM offer joining bonus at grade 9? Can that be requested/negotiated? Expecting an offer in next few days from GBS. YOE:14
Yes they do. Get as much as you can! Also get your base as high as possible and potentially negotiate getting brought in as a Band 10. Once you’re in the band increases are difficult to achieve even if you are performing exceptionally well. With your YOE I would think 10 would be a possibility.
Any thoughts on what would be a decent band 10 offer?
The band range is typically $250-335k or so with a bonus each year (around 10%). Does this align with what you’re hearing? Band 9 may overlap with this but the next band after 10 is D which starts getting you into bigger bonuses and stock. Hope this helps.
Goooood luck.
i got 15k as b6. always ask for more
What type of job?
I did not negotiate salary very well but did get a sign-on bonus, for band 9 I would ask for min. 25k
Thanks. I guess the recruiter doesn’t like me. No negotiations; only base, take it or leave it kind of offer.
Leave it.
@Bosch USA x did you leave it or take it ? As a band 9, you should definitely get sign on
I declined
good choice probably

Others will know better for GBS but 7s out of grad school tend to get 15-25k (initial offer, not GBS) so I would assume B9s would get them as well.
And yes they are negotiable
