How does negotiating work for FT IB at an EB?

Need realistic advice & opinions:

is there a lot of salary, sign-on bonus, relocation bonus negotiation for FT IB role at an EB? -----> is it common? -----> best approach? -----> how is negotiating different for EB IB? -----> does negotiating matter if you plan to leave in 2 years vs. A2A? -----> does negotiating work differently for return FT offers vs. FT recruiting? -----> do people even negotiate their SA offers? -----> is WSO FT bonus realistic (with so many EB having bonus range from 10,000 - 25,000+)
