Does anyone know someone who left prior to their 1-year clawback for their Jefferies' bonus? If so, did they return the bonus? Thanks.

Tends to be rare that banks claw back signing bonuses from analysts. I know of people who left within their first year (at BBs though, not MM / Boutique size banks) and they were not contacted regarding their signing bonus. It could be a different circumstance at smaller firms but typically it isn't worth the bad press / hassle for a bank to take action.
