Sign on bonus for PM positions

Hi,

Does anyone here have some intel on what kind of sign on packages one can expect for quant PM positions at multi strat platforms? I am quite far in the application process with some of them.

The thing is that I will have a one year non compete, of which 6 months may be unpaid. Also in case I resign soon obviously I would not get a bonus this year and, since I have to sit out one year, also next year. This means the costs of a move are huge for me. Any idea how much of the comp that I would miss would normally be bought out by a firm looking to hire me? I work in London in case this matters.
