No that's just a lie to make you stay. It's not on your offer letter or the paperwork when you ask for your bonus. Safe to leave.

Does that apply to all big 4?

I don't know about bonus but I have to pay back my Becker costs prorated over 2 years if I leave before that. Good news is, whatever they say you can negotiate into your new job hiring you to cover it

@ Assurance Associate 1. It applies to all contracts. If it's not in your employee manual, offer letter, or paperwork when you request your bonus, then you don't have to pay them back anything. Simple contract law principles.

EY didn't make me pay mine back. As an experienced hire at pwc you don't have to pay back the amount they would give you so I don't think you do as a new hire.

KPMG makes you pay it back

I am trying to negotiate an internal base increase. Context is that I am at a FinTech following a key strategic and successful M&A in which I was the sole program manager. For reference I have 3 years of experience and have been offered a 10% base increase as a part of my promotion (current salary is 120k). I feel this is quite low given the market but would really appreciate any input
