London SA signing bonus - before or with first salary?

Hi, I’m an incoming summer analyst at JPM in London.

From those who have completed summers, do you typically get the signing bonus before you start the role or at the end of your first month?

JPM have said it could be either, so I’d like to hear anecdotes from those who have done a summer.

Thanks!

Yes and as I said, I’m just looking for first hand insights as to what other peoples experiences have been

 

Its a relocation bonus not a signing bonus, it is meant to be with your first paycheck to help cover relocation costs. They mentioned it in a onboarding webinar.

 

Very helpful, thank you! I haven’t been able to join any of the webinars as I’m crazy busy in my current off cycle internship.
