Hi all,
I’m looking to relocate to Seattle. Does anyone know if any of the Big 4 are still recruiting campus hires to start in Summer/Fall 2023? I’m open to either Audit or Tax, but I have internship experience in Tax.
I applied and received an offer at a Big 4 in San Francisco (campus hire), but I’ve decided Seattle is the better fit for me as it will be closer to my hometown and family in Vancouver.
Thanks!

Two years is pretty standard for clawbacks, so that part alone wouldn't scare me. The toxic culture rumors are what would. Can you find anyone on LinkedIn who left that firm recently and ask them directly? People who just left are usually the most honest about what it's actually like. The money is great until you're miserable and doing math on whether you can afford to quit and pay it back.
This is great advice! I hadn’t thought to ask people that just left a company about their experience.
I wouldn't worry that much about the culture automatically being toxic because of this kind of provision. It's becoming pretty industry standard for sign on bonuses. It doesn't automatically mean that the culture isn't good or that they are constantly running people off.

I’ve had a clawback clause when I signed my offer letter as well. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I know someone that left within 1 year and didn’t have to pay the sign on bonus back
