#141: Retention Bonuses–the good and the bad

Josh and Amelie discuss retention bonuses. What are the pros and what are the cons? Mo’ money, mo’ problems?

Top things to think about

1. Sabbaticals usually operate as retention bonuses–you get the time off (usually for research) and then are required to stay for a year afterward.
2. You’re locked in for a retention bonus…except that you might be able to negotiate a signing bonus to pay back the retention bonus.
3. Read the fine print and terms of a retention bonus so you know all the implications.
