Next company to cover missed bonus/pay back?

Nov 9, 2021 7 Comments

Currently LC and GTFO’ing and was wondering how likely it is that my next company is willing to cover missed bonus. I get my 2021 bonus (~$20k) at the end of February. Hoping to not stay until then but also don’t want to lose out on that money. Also since I haven’t stayed for 2 years yet, I will need to pay back my sign on bonus prorated. Going to use some charisma during negotiation.

How willing are companies when it comes to this?

    Cover the missed bonus by asking for an additional $20k sign on. Don’t ask them to “cover my missed bonus” because it sounds sort of pathetic and would make you look bad.

  • You miss 6 months to reach 2y in Bloomberg? Why not just waiting another 6 months.

    It's November, by the time it will be April. You'll get the 20k bonus, you won't pay any BB sign-on bonus back. You can start interviewing from February and you start preparing at the beginning of the new year or even from now.

    Charisma or not, very unlikely they’ll not prorate your sign-on. For bonus check the policy, some only require you to be on payroll through end of year, though most will require you to be on payroll on day of payout. Also if you hang around till then, don’t give notice until the bonus is in; have seen vindictive bosses mess with bonus just because you quit.

    It should be pretty straight forward to say: "I want to join your company, but if I do it now I will be losing 30k, compared to if I join in a month or two, if you cover this difference I would join you now without thinking twice..."

    Should be pretty easy to negotiate an extra signon bonus.
