Signing is prorated in Deloitte for sure!

Yes, especially if you work for an accounting firm, they like counting beans, plus you sign the paperwork that clearly speaks to the specifics

2 year contract out of MBA. If you leave before 2 years you have to pay back pro rated bonuses and relocation

My sister wasn't in consulting but she was a CPA for EY and they went after her relocation when she left before a year of being relocated

They all say that... Does anybody know anybody who actually paid it back? I don't think you have to.

Yes - you have to pay it back

Yes, I know people who have left and had to pay it back

When your signing bonus + relo is 50k, of course they will go after you if you leave after a year. We are talking 25k per case.

Ok so general agreement is they come after you (duh) how much time do you get to pay them back? I'm sure most people don't have 50k just lying around...

I believe it's pro rated against the time you stayed. But probably varies by firm

Yeahs it's prorated

Any Jabian folks here?

Sorry didn't mean to ask that here. It's been a long week. Smh.

Ask your new company to cover it! If they want you bad enough they will step up
