relocation bonuses don't show up until you get your first paycheck

Here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, you are the sucker.
 

Is there a reason companies wait until the first paycheck? Luckily I had enough saved up to pay for moving my stuff and putting down a security deposit (total brag, I know), but I can imagine for a lot of people starting out it's difficult to spend that kind of cash and have to wait a few weeks before the bonus hits.
