My company paid for my relocation but I'll have to pay it back if I leave before a certain amount of time. Would a FAANG company pay this off for me as apart of a sign on bonus?
Yes they do. It’s part of negotiations and FAANG can increase sing on bonus to compensate for relocation paid for by another company.
Often they don't ask for relocation or sign on back from what I hear, but you should ask for increased sign on in case
Amazon is making me pay mine back. Google doubled my equity offer. So I can pay it off with my first vest.
You can use that as a justification for a higher signing bonus a lot of times.
I did that with Google and they gave a sign-on. Later, I didn't have to pay back Amazon. No one asked.
