Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.

A $100,000 signing bonus?

...You didn't fully understand every letter of the fine print before accepting that?

...And to top it off, something else is out there that can't wait another 6 months? 🤔

At a BB and have not heard of that either. Sounds like good times.

WFH is particularly easy for slacking. If she has no fear of losing her job at this point, why not just slack off for a few more months

Curious as well

Should be in her employment agreement. They probably can take it. It’s enough money that it would be worth asking a lawyer about for $300
