“do they actually follow this,” no they’re gonna forget about it... LOL
also... it’s 3k. chill
Had a friend who left EY 3 months after joining. He didn’t have to return the sign on bonus
What about an amount like 15k with 3 years clawback?
Tried to, recruiter didn’t budge.
Haha I’m chill, not saying I’m sweating to pay 3k back not that dumb with my money. Just was curious since it’s such a small amount. I’ve heard at other company’s it’s a crap shoot sometimes so that’s why I asked.

They don’t need to take you to court. Those agreements usually say they can just take the money from your direct deposit bank account.
And even if they don’t sue you it’s trivial for them to put it on your credit report...
My friend paid it back (same amount) even though she was just 2 months away from the time mark...
Yea they do require you to pay it back before your last day
Former EY here, don’t think they will. Was in the same situation.
What’s your a typical signing bonus for joining as senior manager in % of salary?
Rising Star
Just keep in mind you have to pay back the pre tax amount. If your bonus was 5k and you got 3k after taxes, you still owe 5k
Yup!!!

Had a friend who left Deloitte and had to pay back his sign on bonus. They called him into a room and semi aggressively went over how he had to submit a check for the full amount that cleared before his last day otherwise it would go straight to creditors. He came back to his desk pissed from the style of interaction and felt that much better about his decision to leave. It could have been handled better for sure.
