Hate my job but 2 months away from sign on bonus what do I do? I already got it but in my offer letter it says they have the right to take it away if the year isn’t completed. I’m interviewing for a bunch of amazing roles and I think I’m 100% going to get this one I want but am worried they want the start date in a month or so. Do I just leave bc I hate it here or ask to stay up until my start date and slack off until then?

Try option 2 - I’ve seen it work out before.

Depends how much the bonus is, how good the offer is, and how much you care. Can also negotiate into new jobs sign on bonus

Unless you have some sort of niche skillset, new place can't necessarily dictate your start. Tell them you have a go-live and in order to maintain relationships, you can't start until after

I would tell the new place the date you need to not get clawed back and go from there. For all you know a late start might work for them.

Would appreciate any thoughts on how to go about bringing this up without pissing people off because I love the firm and do not want to leave
