18 months in the company or return sign on bounus

I have an offer from oracle, offer letter's TnC says, if I leave company before 18 months I need to return my signing bonus. I thought 12 months is like standard in industry. Oracle has 18 months as standard ?

It should be fine! Do you really want to jump to different company within 1.5yrs? What job role is this for?

IBM YSiJ44 OP Apr 24, 2018

Thanks for the input. Chances of changing job within 1.5 years are very less. But if everyone is getting an option of one year in oracle, I would like to have the same. That's why asked this question.

Mine is 18 months too

You never know when one has to jump. 12 is typical and would be good to have that if it doesn't work out. Oracle culture/politics will take time to adjust!

I had heard 18 months as well from a buddy who joined Oracle some time back.

That’s not unusual in the industry. Uber has it go from 100% payback to 0% payback between 12 to 24 months. I think it’s 50% at 18 months.

6 months training , 6 months politics , 6 months prep and interview for next job and you are done 😝

Have your lawyer review and get that changed to 1 yr. Mine was 2 years at Samsung and I had it changed to 1.

Samsung balls must be small

You should jump at 25 month mark as that will include your stock vest.

Microsoft Uhaob Apr 25, 2018

How long did it take from verbal offer to written offer?

IBM YSiJ44 OP Apr 25, 2018

Like forever

Microsoft Uhaob Apr 25, 2018

Lol, how many weeks? I’ve been waiting forever.
