BB sign-on bonus negotiable?

How negotiable are the sign on AN1 bonuses at BBs? My bank is paying 10 grand which is pretty shit and am thinking of talking to HR about it. I've got some solid arguments (just giving one to avoid doxxing myself) like I've already passed the SIE exam so wouldn't need the book/study stipend and time off from work. 

Would I need a competing offer with a higher sign-on bonus? Will they just tell me to screw off? Is it a bad look to negotiate this or ask for more?

Not looking for anything crazy, just maybe an extra 5-10K.
