Firm won’t pay signing bonus until 9 months after starting

Just began as an early intake AN1 on a January start.

Bc I'm an idiot & didn't read my contract too thoroughly until after signing - I didn't see that my signing bonus isn't paid out until the regular analyst intake (September).

I figured it wouldn't be an issue to just ask HR & explain that I need it with my first paycheck as it's obviously meant for relocation costs - but they're pushing back.

Any advice here? Am I just fucced or should I keep pestering them?
