Entry Level Signing Bonuses?

Does anyone have any knowledge of common signing bonuses for entry level jobs in hedge funds if there are any? Not necessarily the huge ones maybe $1bn-2n AUM. What about shops like Silver Point, Moelis?

$10K is pretty standard for entry level (ie. right out of college).
