Just got an offer from EY but signing bonus is vested over 3 years. I will receive entire amount up front but if I leave after 1 year, I will need to pay back 2/3. I’ve never heard of this before. Thoughts?

I didn’t have that when I came to Deloitte

3 years is too long. 1 year is common and pro-rated is a plus. I would negotiate that part of your offer or stay prepared to pay it back if needed.

like

That’s normal. You might be able to negotiate it shorter, mine was just 2 years but that’s the way they offered it.

like

Mine was 1 year but only 5k

Dang they increased it to three years? Mine was two years and I had to pay back half when I left after 18 months (though I did negotiate with my new employee to cover the amount).

like

Yea I guess. That’s what I was thinking. If I do leave, I’ll just get new job to cover the amount.

Standard practice.

like

Deloitte does the same thing but typically over 2 years. So 3 is just one year longer 😊

like

3 years is a lot. Mine was 1 year. Can you negotiate down to 2 years?

That’s a long time for the signing bonus. Unless you’re planning to stay for more than three years that clawback on the bonus doesn’t sound good

How much is the signing bonus?

Agree with M1 - that’s such a small amount. Honestly I am surprised EY is asking for a 3 year payback on 15k - sounds like penny pinching

like

Mine was 10k with 1 year clawback. 2 years ago joined as a Senior

Seems like a warning sign.

It really shouldn’t matter. Either you stay 5 years and you clear the window or you leave for a better offer and tell them about the clawback. Every time I have had a clawback on a signing bonus the new company offer has included paying that back to me. I wouldn’t stress about it. Will say 3 years seems rather long, what level are you.

M1

I didn’t have any stipulations when I joined

When did you join? Also what role and level

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
