Company wants to know the stock/bonus I’ll forfeit if I join new company. Should I give it to them?
If so, would it help? I’d have to give up about ~40k as part of the Amazon clawback. If not, how do I avoid it? It’s listed as part of the formation they want before they’ll share numbers.
Providing claw back amount only helps
Double the amount when you tell them.
Wouldn’t they ask for evidence?
Normally they dont since it is illegal in some states to ask compensation details etc. I have never been asked and I have successfully managed to increase my TC significantly.
Never share your current info, ask them to make an offer that they think you are worth, and take it from there
They apparently need it to generate comp
No they don’t.
Is the amount forfeited the entirety of your unvested grants up to that point, or just what you will forfeit in the next year?
Not sure how it would hurt; that being said besides relo what would amazon claw back that brings you to ~40k?
Signing and relo ends up being $45k. I think they only clawback pro rated but I’m at the edge of where the pro rating starts
