How does a sign‑on bonus affect career progression?
A sign‑on bonus can fund continued education, certifications, or side projects that accelerate skill growth. It also signals a company’s confidence in your impact, often correlating with faster promotion timelines and increased equity grants.
What industry trends are driving sign‑on bonus demand?
The surge in AI model deployment, edge computing, and zero‑trust security frameworks is pushing companies to secure senior talent quickly.
