<prompt> Human: Hey pf,Im looking at leaving a job sometime soon to live closer to my SO. For my current job, I have signed a piece of paper that says among other things that if I leave before 12 months voluntarily I will need to pay back my signing bonus and any relocation reimbursements. This comes to about 10,000. The job Im currently interviewing for is perfect for me, so if I have an offer Im not sure Id be able to delay 3-4 months to hit the 12 mo. requirement.If I get an offer from a new employer, is it a commonly done thing to negotiate for the new employer to help cover these costs? Not sure how I would proceed in negotiations.Thanks for the help.  <response>: Many new employers do cover things like this, just tell them.
