It's not reimburse. It's just negotiation. Why leave something near guaranteed for something uncertain?
Last time I changed jobs I negotiated hard using my current situation to leverage a decent signing bonus. This is no different.
- rhizome 10y agoWas your signing bonus a ~5x multiple of your annual salary? It just smells to me like the company is effectively paying for two employee positions, one at another company. Back of the napkin calc says John R. Walter's compensation + forfeited shares in 1997 added up to maybe $7MM (being generous, perhaps $10MM if he had stayed through vesting), so the reimbursement by AT&T was easily 2-3x the real-world numbers.
