I've been working for this company for several years as a contractor. Soon I'm going to be offered a full time position, they like me a lot, I handle support, and I get my shit done. I'd say I have some leverage.
This company is rather big, F500 which has seen a 150% increase in stock since I've been working there. Due to my role and information known I was skeptical of trading my companies stock due to fears of 'inside trading'. Instead I spent my money in the market and lost a large portion.
When i get hired in do you think I could use my leverage if I have any to ask for like $10,000-20,000 bonus for signing? Most likely in stock? I'd be okay with the stock I just wonder if I would be able to argue for a signing bonus or if that's even a thing.
I lost out of yearly stock bonuses that would be worth over 15k. instead I lost 20k.
