[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I am a recruiter. I’ve worked both for agencies and in house. You’ve left a lot of important context out of your post.

1. Is this the company’s internal recruiter?
2. Did you apply to a position with them that offered relocation or did they come to you?
3. Is there  posted salary range and if so where is the offer in comparison to the range? If not what have they said? Ask them what internal equity is for the role. 
4. What level of IC role is this? You say they put you through a testing usually for management. Is it a fellow or chief architect or equivalent role? Why did they ask you to do the testing?

I could go on but overall I’m guessing there is a mismatch in expectations between you and them. [/quote]

One more thing, either way more than $5k is likely appropriate for either a sign on or relocation bonus. What is the total package though? Is there a sign on and relocation bonus? Stock? [/quote]

Just the 5k incentive, which is paid out with the first paycheck (and taxed, so really about $3500-4000).  The recruiter intimated that for management roles they have a whole relocation infrastructure in place but suggested this would not be available for this role.

It would cost, obviously, tens of thousands of dollars to relocate.  They didn’t say anything about corporate housing, house hunting trips, per diem, etc etc. But the hiring manager really wanted me - I wonder if they would be able to make any of that happen. Idk.[/quote]
