D1, thanks. I hate when coworkers ask what I did for Mother’s Day — such a well-intentioned question that’s actually so insensitive.

Yep same as D1... I remember one time the cafe barista asked what I got my mum for mothers day and I got really awkward and instead of saying she passed away, I just said I said I didn't get anything...and he responded saying oh haha such a shit daughter in a joking way. oh damn that hurt.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
