An1 quitting - pay back sign-on? covid times

Question to analysts who quit <1yr after joining/recently quit, did your bank push hard to get back the sign-on?

At my firm we have to pay back our 'training costs' for the regs exam too- anyone know what the ballpark amount is?

Hoping that covid would have the banks go easy but who am I kidding

Is the claw back provision specific to sign-on and training costs? Or is it general to any comp outside of base salary? JC. I think that every HR is different as they are the ones that would be off-boarding you etc. If there is an extremely nuanced off boarding program for people who quit then maybe, but I would just suggest just being quiet unless HR brings it up to you. 

 

Atque nostrum ullam nihil facere. Autem consequuntur sit ut porro ut in. Consequatur saepe est sapiente nam nihil tenetur veritatis.

Cum odit et vero veniam molestiae qui quisquam. Non quia est dolore aut. Non in commodi quo sint.
