Do summer analysts get a signing bonus at BBs?
In the last ~month I signed with a BB for a 2021 summer analyst position. Are we supposed to get signing bonuses when we sign on to our offer?

Same question. Also, if we do, is it paid when we sign or closer to the internship, also if there's a housing stipend, when's that paid?
Generally speaking no singing bonus, housing stipend is paid usually within 1 or 2 months before you start, relocation specialists of the firm will reach out
Do they still help you relocate if it’s virtual? Even if I can’t get to the office i want to get out if my current city to set up shop
Interned at a BB virtually this past summer, they still paid the relocation stipend
What is a relocation specialist, excuse my ignorance but the BBs basically place us in housing?
yea so some banks will call it a relocation stipend others may just call it a signing bonus stipend. It is just the signing bonus, usually around $2,000.
how times have changed. For some context, 2nd year associates made ~1 mil all in during the tech bubble at CSFB
