Just tell the partner you work for that you accepted this awesome new job and you are starting on X date and you will need to have a lot of flexibility in your upcoming work schedule. When they try to clarify whether you are giving notice just say “oh no no no, I intend to keep working here so I receive my salary, but we definitely need to have a discussion about one of those flexible work arrangements I keep hearing about.” You will be fired on the spot and keep that CPA bonus of yours. Let us know how it goes! 👍

I promise you if you stay for 3 years this job you “can’t pass up” will be blown away by future offers.

Yeah, I feel like you’d have to work a year or something after getting your bonus to keep it. If the new job you got is so great, why not just tell them to give you more money to cover the bonus you’re about to pay back

Started sep 2015 at PwC in assurance. There was no bonus repayment policy in my offer letter, and I did not have to repay it giving notice 3 business days after the pay date. It has been about a year.

The bonus repayment policy is in the offer letter you signed, and PwC does hold you to it.

Yes you have to repay your bonuses in most firms unless they fire your ass

Does anybody have experience with this that has worked specifically for PwC?

I imagine all the big 4 have the same policy. Same with a starting bonus. If you don’t stay x number of years you have to repay the bonus. I’m sure they told you this somewhere when you started the process

What’s the new job?

That’s amazing to hear. Thank you so much for telling me that!

Just pay it back you sneaky boy it is not ur money if you leave.

You can always ask the new hire to pay you the money you’re losing out on by leaving.

I was recently offered a “promotion” from Senior Director to… a Senior Director with a much bigger team.

I’m basically doing the same role the VP did before me (brand, campaigns, strategy, design, web, content all under me).

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
