Yes, 2k
I just got an SA offer but don't see it in my contract ):
is that normal?
I honestly don't remember if it's included in the offer but if its BB IB you're definitely getting 2k.
called "relocation bonus" in my offer letter. 2.5k
Is this only NYC and LDN?
Is it true that different EB do not?
CVP gives $3k
EVR was 2.5k 2 years ago
Goldman discount I believe mine said $1.5k. Anyone know when we get them?
Same here—my contract said after the background check
See you there next summer lol. Took a look through the contract again, there's also that $750 allowance for travel that could be considered part of the signing bonus, but that's niche. Also unless you're flying to NYC from the west coast, I doubt any travel expense will really use that allowance.
Barclays hasn't given one for SA21
For SA2020 we received 2.5k
Its in the offer letter
Will be 2.5k for SA21
Will be 2.5k for SA21
Does anyone know what/if DB pays?
2K is about right. Treat it like a relocation stipend though and put it towards your summer housing etc. Some might pay it early but most pay it with your first paycheck
If it’s not in the offer letter am I not getting it
Yes if it was not communicated to you then you probably won't get anything.
Incoming SA at BB, in our offer letter we got a $2,000 relocation stipend that can be thought of as a signing bonus, but that’s the official name/usage.
1k in Europe.
7.5k for qatalyst
That’s ridiculous ahahah

not cap - saw it on a friend's offer letter
got a signing bonus for RBC SA, RBC BB confirmed?
I was an SA last year in IB at RBC and didn't get a signing bonus
Yeah I did not get a signing bonus either.
Citi: 2.5k for SA 2022
When are these signing bonuses/housing stipends usually paid out? My start date is in ~3 weeks and I still haven't received the $2k mentioned in the letter.
I have seen it paid out day one on at some banks
Sounds good, thanks!
Also for London?
Got 2.5k early signing bonus plus 7.5k “scholarship” from EVR for SA22
When will BofA pay SA signing bonus? With the first salary?
Rothschild gave $2k for SA 2022. Will pay with first weeks salary
WF: 12K "relocation" bonus
WFS 2022 SA’s get 2k pre-tax
Ask the people who they recruited at their early diversity super day how much they got, you might not like the answer. If I had to take a not so wild guess, I would say it's double this.
