Good luck. I really don't think the new company will care much about your being soon to be vested in the other company. I wouldn't be if I was them: not my problem.

Be creative, however, don't just focus on a signing bonus. I know it depends on the type of job you are being offered, but think about incentives you can offer them, ask for a piece of the business you can bring in.

I just sold a company and then started with the company that bought me in July, began work in August. While salary was important, in the end getting a piece of the new business was my goal. I negotiated only on what percentage of ownership I would gain from bringing in new business in my sector.

Look at the negotiation from a different perspective.

Again, good luck!
