Depends on the bank, but the majority will get $10k. Evercore pays $25k and Centerview paid $50k last year (not sure if that's a one-off thing or not). Usually it's subject to some kind of clawback where you'll have to pay back all or some of it if you don't finish your full two or three year stint. Everyone gets the same signing bonus.
thank you so much. very helpful info.
Do all BB give a signing bonus? Do they also pay overtime?
t believe all BBs pay overtime while an intern only. once you work ft you are subject to bonuses and no overtime. i believe they all pay signing bonuses, but the amount may differ. from previous response it looks like it is around $10k.
surprised its still only $10k. Citi ops gave me $10k signing five and a half years ago. Figured front office would've increased by now.

.
65,000 pro-rated for 40 hours/week for 10 weeks, and then 1.5X overtime.
10,000 sign on pro rated for 10 weeks.
How do they go from a pro-rated salary and convert that to 40 hours/week?
Just simple math. 52 weeks in a year. 65,000/52 = 1,250 a week. 1,250/40 = 31.25 an hr
70k base salary pro-rated + 2k housing stipend.
bump
pro-rated at 50 weeks, not 52, so comes out to a bit more
.
Did they state the hourly rate in your offer letter?
$70k pro-rated + $2k relocation. Works out to around $13k for the summer. A couple banks pay overtime as well, usually 0.5x your hourly rate. Banks in CA pay 1.5x OT because of labor laws, so interns there make bank. I have a buddy that made nearly $40k during his summer.
$85k pro-rated + $15k relocation (international) + $15k "SA" sign-on bonus + 2.5x overtime for over 40 hours a week, so all in around ~$50k - $75k total
Dafuq? Is it Centerview?
Troll...
70k pro rated.
70k prorated +1.5k signing bonus
70k pro rated with 2k sign on. Pretty sure thats the standard
Interns in California making bank is true. Because of Cali labor laws.
I hope I am lucky enough to have the privilege to post on this thread a month-or-so later.
Congrats to all of you who are getting paid!!!!
Why am I getting monkey shit.....
In London:
Me (MM): 880 £/week + 1k accommodation allowance
A friend of mine (BB): 860 + 1.5
