When is the best time to mention a clawback provision to a new firm? During the interview when they ask “how soon can you start”? Or after you get an offer?

The clawback doesn’t necessarily prevent me from starting ASAP, but it does affect my start date in some respect & I’d definitely try to negotiate with the new firm to pay all/some of it. For context, the signing bonus is low/mid 5-figures. Thoughts?

More details. What’s the timing issue? Is it a few days or a few months?

I’d expect a candidate to tell me ASAP if they couldn’t start within 4-6 weeks or so.

Totally let them know upfront. Im not sure if you ask them to cover it if they want you to start a few months early. But in reality if you haven’t even started interviewing it may be until September or later when you get an offer, so starting 1st of the year isn’t out of reality I don’t think. I’m waiting 2 months and change due to project load.

Decision - I was out the door of my nationwide ins dfense firm. Was going to top local firm with a lot more clout where everything would be private pay and I’d be more on bigger exposure cases. However, my firm outmatched the new firm, made a much better bonus structure, and said I could do more work with their complex bus lit group. I’d still likely do about 50 percent ins defense but I really like the partners I work for, and I handle own cases/take depos, and get autonomy. Am I right to stay?
