Need advice: Moved for a job, relocation covered, signing bonus, etc. But, after a couple months, I am pretty sure I won’t last more than a year. Shitty to leave at the one year mark?

Not at all. You need to do what is best for yourself and your family. Never put a company above your own needs.

Get out as soon as you can before it starts to do damage to other areas of your life.
Regarding you relocation, you may need to pay this back but occasionally your next role can help you pay it (or parts), or try to get a signing bonus again when you move to your next role to help cover the costs.

Will you owe relo costs after the year is over?

Not at all.

What SA1 said. Make sure you won’t be paying them to leave

the contract only refers to relocation costs and states that I must stay a year (otherwise must pay back).

The tough part is that I’m considering returning to last agency. This one is VERY SMALL.

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me).

Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
