Has anyone ever been offered a signing bonus for a new job at an agency? If so was it tied to a contingency of staying x amount of months ?

Relocation is not a bonus. Every agency offer relocation

As a junior who needed to relocate for the job, I was offered 1.5k but negotiated 3k which I would have to pay back (prorated) if I left before a year.

funny

Yes and no

Yes to several signing bonuses. One required 6 months, another a year, the last had no time requirement.

Got offered a signing bonus that’d have to be paid back if I left before a year instead of them meeting the salary I asked for.

Pretty standard. Usually it is prorated based on number of months worked as a percentage of bonus contingency length.

I’ve had them done ad retention bonuses. You get $xx when you sign, $yy after a year, $ zzz after 3

like

Yes, and no. I requested one because the salary was slightly lower than expected.

I’ve had a couple agencies pay ~10k for a move. One had a contingency of staying 2 years but didn’t enforce it. As far as I know contingencies are rarely enforced unless something really dramatic happens or if you stay under a year

Yes. Usually 1 year.

pretty standard for relo bonuses you have to stay for a year.

One year

Relocation contingent on staying for certain amount of time. Used it to buy a microwave/stove hood combo because mine broke right when I was leaving.

Yes and yes, and was enforced. 6 mos.

Yeah a year. If u leave sooner u pay back. But never enforced

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
