Can I ask my IB to give the signing bonus early so that I can pay for my 2nd Year MBA Tuition?

Is there a way to go about this? For me it takes 100% financial sense. I get my $50k signing bonus ($30-35k post tax) 4-5 months early and use it to pay off significant portion of my tuition for the second year of my MBA.

Otherwise I’m taking a loan of approx the same amount in january.

To me it makes total financial sense.

Have anyone done this? How would I approach

 
moneytrail:
Don't know but I'm sure you could offer for them to structure this in a way that makes financial sense to them. Eg they can pay 35k of the MBA cost rather than paying you 50k so that after tax you pay the MBA programme 35k. Obviously peanuts to them on the grand scale but net net same for you even slightly better due to less interest costs

Would it be wise to allude in the email that a consideration for be to accept the full time offer is this wish being granted?

 

No. Don't put contingencies on a junior level offer... you have absolutely no leverage here

You can send HR a polite email asking, EB/MM may be willing to do this but I imagine BBs less likely (their pay/signing bonus structure is much more set in stone). If they say no, don't push
