bump
The standard for most BBs is 10k USD. From what I heard, it can be higher for specific EBs, such as Centerview.
10k is standard at BB/MM, even with the recent bump in base to 85k
typically $10,000 at a BB
When is the 10k received? When you accept your offer or not until you start working FT?
Different for each firm. I think most will payout once you receive your first pay check
Do any actually call it a "signing bonus"? From my experience they call it a "relocation bonus"
For my firm (EB), I received it in end of March.
