What happens to signing bonus if bank postpones startdate on their end?

So if my offer letter says that I will start mid-july but my bank has decided to push back because of COVID 19 to mid-September start, if I leave before September (ie. july or august 2022 for PE gig), will they be able to claim that I haven't stayed for two years even though I had no say in the matter?

Also has anyone tried to save and cash in all their vacation days so that you can essentially leave a few weeks early? Has that gone over well / even allowed?

 

What exactly do you mean? Im not as concerned as to when the actual bonus gets paid out but more about if ill have to pay it back if i leave before september given my original offer letter said I would start in mid-july

 

normal time = June/July 2022

Some second years dip in May or even April, never heard of anyone coming for their signing bonus. PE recruiting will still mostly be for June/July and no bank is going to chase down their entire second year class for leaving at that time

If you leave 8 months early they'll probably want it back, otherwise you're fine
