How common are sign on bonuses in credit in london?

Going to lateral from a mid-sized LO operation in credit to a more dynamic, larger, shop. I would be giving up my year end bonus (paid in Jan). Not sure when the bonus is paid in the next place. Currently an associate, and was wondering if I should ask for a sign on bonus to at least partially compensate my YE bonus. Even a small-ish amount would work.
