Logistically the earliest you could receive it would be the next payroll date or the one after, since they’d need to input you into their system, and they typically work on a cycle ahead due to the size of the firm.

Some firms pay it out in like March, and others pay it after you start. In all likelihood the latter is probably so they don’t need to come after you if you renege/don’t end up starting.

Not something to be super mad over - at the end of the day it’s additional money that you will get. I could understand needing it for moving expenses, etc.

 

I got my bonus ~3 weeks after starting FT and think that's pretty typical although I've heard of some firms like Jefferies paying returning interns a couple months before start date as well.
