I left company X in August and the debt team was supposed to reach out to collect back my sign on bonus. I didn’t reach out to them of-course, but it’s been 4 months. Do you think they overlooked it and I’m in the clear from paying it back?

Looks like SA2 is quoting the time you have to stay at a company to not have to pay the signing bonus back. I don’t think any company would have a limit on how long they have to pursue the clawback. Likely state law like the other guy said.

Wish for the best that they don't care but expect the worse if they do. If you didn't burn the bridge do ask them if you can be forgiven.

I had an employer reach out 4 months after the end of my internship for $400 they overpaid me

Well. I didn't feel bad cause 400 or 4000, that's the money that didn't belong to me so all's fair.

Do you plan to boomerang back there? That’s the real question. The risk is getting black listed.

Is that what you’ll say when your return offer gets rescinded? If you think there’s a possibility you’ll want to go back, paying them back is a no brainer.

What does your offer letter say? They may have deducted it from your vacation or other such payout. Look at the details

Of course they can.

They shouldn’t, for a variety of reasons, but they have every legal right to. You know you owe it and you haven’t paid it.

This IOU could potentially come up in a background check that looks to see that you’re a financially responsible person (e.g. Some banks/fin services do look at this upon hire) and may flag that you owe.

On the other hand, I’ve see employees leave a company, HR asking the pay back and employees ignoring the request, and then HR deciding to just shrug it off as it’s not worth the trouble to get the 8k back.

There’s literally zero trouble involved. HR just clicks the button to send the whole thing to collections and forgets about it.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
