Received BCG offer and will have to pay back signing bonus (~5k) to my current firm. Any chance successfully negotiating the offer, or is it not worth bringing up? Thank you for any advice

Also, the BCG signing bonus is around the same amount

Congrats OP. Depending on need - would bring up. However, in the grand scheme of things , this is a small amount.

Negotiate a sign on bonus, be honest and give a good rational, if you don’t ask the answer is going to be no by default

Can’t hurt to ask. Pretty small in the grand schemes (but smaller for us than for you).

Thanks for the help everyone. HR looked into it for me and said they wouldn’t — I do have the standard sign on bonus which almost covers the previous clawback, so not a huge loss
