<prompt> Human: I received a job offer from a consulting firm with 75k annual, 5k signing bonus, and yearly annual bonus not to exceed 10 of base pay. This is a great offer for me, however, I found online that the pay is lower especially the bonuses than what they pay other 1st year post-grads. Online it says 75k-85k yearly, 10k signing bonus, 5k relocation bonus. I feel as though my best point of leverage for pay negotiation would be an offer from another firm, however the other companies I am having interviews with wont give me a decision until February or March, and this firm wants a decision by December 1st. How can I go about negotiating for higher paybonuses? Thank you!  <response>: You dont really. Unless youve got a really good case for being paid more - i.e. showed really good aptitude, etc in the interview - youve got very little leg to stand on. IMHO just be glad for the job, if youre good you can scale pay quickly.
