Singing bonus MBB

Do MBB offer a signing bonus for associate position with MBA but not as an immediate post-MBA hire (with additional experience after)? Heard that it exists for a structured program, but do they keep it after as well.

It depends on the region. In some regions, signing bonuses are standard, in others they are offered in specific cases, and there are also regions where there are no signing bonuses at all. So if you want valuable input, you should provide more concrete information and context.

Hi,
Yes, they do. It can vary a little after a post-offer negotiation but it strongly depends on the geography.

Hello,

They do but the amount can vary a lot depending on a lot of variables. Usually you can receive a bit more immeadiately after the MBA because they help you to pay the penalty for leaving your previous company without finishing the "lock.in" period.

Luca

Hello!

Strongly depends on the region. 

Best thing would be to ask someone within the company -or another MBB in the same region- to be sure. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi,

You have to negotiate. If you have relevant experience you are selling to the company (e.g. branding / digital marketing / agile) - you'll get one
