Signing Bonus for FT

Hey guys,

So I've noticed that there's actually not much information on FT signing bonuses for various BB & EBs on this thread. My understanding is that all the BB's pay 10k but what about certain EBs? I've heard CVP is 40/50K and EVR pays about 25-30K. There's almost no information on MoCo and I've heard Laz is pretty stingy.

If anyone knows the exact $$ amount for each bank post in this thread and I'll create a master list!

In my experience (granted it was several years ago now), almost every bank gave their FT new hires $10k - $15k in moving expense. The amount that you didn't spend on moving, furniture, security deposit, etc. was yours to keep.

I base this on my experience and info from the pretty substantial portion of people in my graduating class that went into banking
