I am planning to leave Microsoft in 2 weeks. But I will have worked for only 11 months. So I am missing the year by a month. Is there any possibility that Microsoft will pro-rate the refund? Is that even negotiable?
Why would you not just hang out for one more month?

This x2, just tell you next employer to push back start date by 1 month
Check your contract. It is probably pro rated
No it isn't. It says that I have to return in full.
How does your new tc look? Were you able to get a higher signing bonus from Zillow?
It’s not prorated and consider adding taxes that msft paid as well.
I quit microsoft in 8 months. They let me keep the joining bonus. No one asked me back for it
OP, how much is the bonus?
It’s a mixed bag. Some aren’t asked for it and some are ordered to return it. Roll of a dice. One month left or one day doesn’t matter, both are too soon. Is it worth chancing? There’s also the pain in getting the taxes back. Since Microsoft will ask for gross sign on bonus back. So you have to refile your taxes.
