Is there signing bonus for going A2A?

Is it common for people to get signing bonus for going to A2A at your current firm? What about if I'm lateraling to another firm as 1st or 2nd year associate? Can I ask for a signing bonus + relocation bonus?

I'm pretty sure I'm at the same bank you're referring to. Wasn't there a case where some dude who took the a2a signing bonus and then dipped to PE right after his month sabbatical? lmaooo
