No they don’t ask for it back. I went through the same last year, and didn’t have to pay back thankfully! Just reach out to the HR and get this confirmation on an email though. Good luck!

I tried to move to other countries first, but the time was too short and India seemed the best option in terms of convenience and probability of getting back (as I would be still working with the same partners). I got through the lottery this year, so hopefully moving back to the US in October if things go well.

..to pay back all the bonus as I’m not leaving the firm but rather they have to let me go due to visa.. but after reading about Deloitte thinking they would ask me to pay back

No they do not ask for the signing bonus back

Thank you p1! I really hope they won’t, with all this not winning the lottery thing, it’s just too much to handle

@SeniorAssociate1 where did they relocate you too? Did they let go of you?

I moved back to the India office(my home country)

@SeniorAssociate1 Did you get a choice or were you naturally tending towards India? Keen to know my chances of moving to a non Indian member firm in the future

Thanks! That is really insightful!
