It's a big-ish US company with over 25k employees so I feel pretty confident they won't welch.
I get 57k in severance (10yrs, currently 135k / yr), 34k in bonus, and 17k in retention bonus; but if I leave early I get $0.00. This is what's tricky. I can flirt with recruiters and companies, but nobody wants workers at the beginning of next year - they want them now!
Thanks!
- brudgers 5y agoIf you are in high demand right now, you will probably be in high demand after the first of the year. Companies have plans for next year. Good recruiters are working with those companies. Your average recruiter isn't.
- toast0 5y agoWould you leave early if you got a $120k signing bonus? Some companies will make up for surrendered equity, you might ask to be made good for surrendered severence. Interview practice is probably good anyway.
- jwally 5y agoFor a $120k signing bonus, and a salary / incentive comparable to what I make now; I'd start today. This is a good point. I should probably start interviewing now to at least get practice, and at best I can land an amazing job or with someone who will compensate me for lost severance. Either way, win-win.
