I got offered a retention bonus with a clawback of 2 years at 20k. I don’t think that’s worthwhile at the manager level given the job market being an employees market. I manage a large account with a highly visible brand with a great relationship with the client. I was going to use this opportunity to renegotiate for many things like early promotion and a salary increase.

Does anyone have tips/suggestions for other things to negotiate for?

2 years clawback is too much. I’d accept 1 year at the max but I personally think you should either ask for a larger retention bonus or negotiate promotion/salary increase

like

Yeah, I’d prefer the salary increase and promotion to stay for 2 years on paper (of course with additional stipulations, idk if there’s a reorg or something coming). I figure if I did jump to FAANG I would be offered like a 60k pay raise. So I was gonna ask for that understanding they will negotiate it down. I’m a tech consultant that can code, has very good soft skills, have a team of people willing to help me, and actually pretty good at politics. In the midst of also building internal tools and training new folks. These interns tools lead to service offerings yadda yadda.

2 years for 20k lol. Not a chance

Get written documentation of the retention and the clawback. If you need to jump ship, use documents to negotiate sign on. If you are happy hang in there.

Comp is 173, HCOL, M3

Payment for the bonus is a one lump sum, so like 12k or something after taxes

What offering and practice? They are still hanging out RB?

Some people, at least in cyber risk, got a bonus I think in November with the 2nd half coming in march. There was no clawback that I was told of, but I would call it a retention bonus. They said it was for high demand areas and high performers
