Received an offer from Jefferies IB

I received an offer from Jefferies and I’m inclined to take the offer however I have some concerns. The clawback seems really brutal for laterals and the culture of course is tough.

My questions are: Does the clawback kick in even if you’re leaving for (1) Corp dev (2) get fired

I feel the experience is great but the claw back seems like the deal breaker for me. Should I be patient and try to lateral?

They didn’t do a reference check and their process is random af so it really depends on their mood
