When do BB signing bonuses hit?

In the title.

Converted on my BB summer analyst gig last summer and now awaiting FT start.

Hoping to lock down an apartment before we start (NYC), but because of the “current state of the world,” have no idea when to expect signing bonus to come around.

Anyone who started BB roles full time in the past year or two care to share when you got signing bonus / apartments sorted out?

Also wouldn’t mind hearing what you all consider realistic first year rent to be? (NYC only, idrc what you’re paying in Charlotte, I’m sorry)

Thanks

For context, I’ve heard JPM is back in September following SA, while GS and MS are sometime in the spring (?) also heard more like July(??) Seems so useless for relocation purposes if it came out in July / August.

Thanks for your reply. I’m honestly surprised but I guess we’re all in the waiting game together.

Oof thank you for the reply I hadn’t even considered tax on the bonus in my summer / apartment plans so this is good info lol. I’m still waiting on mine but glad to hear BofA is proactive!
