If you are a home owner, do tech companies help you with selling your house and buy new ones as part of relocation pkg ?
Apple gives $5k to sell home or break lease.
Is this part or the standard relocation? And does this work for apartment leases?
Up to a max. Maybe 20k. It’s considered a taxable benefit.
Depends on the company.
General answer is yes I think. Tech companies are quite stingy with this benefit, but both Apple and Microsoft covered the commission and costs for selling the house and the closing costs on the new one. Had to be done within a year IIRC.
Google - kind of No. They give lump sum 23k or points worth that amount. If you cover flight, car, furniture move and temp housing, you will have nothing left for house sale. If you use that money/points for sale (upto 23k), then you will have nothing for the above stuff
Some companies do pay the new house closing costs.
