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.
