So you want them to just wire you the bonus as soon as you sign... When you haven't even been onboarded or added to payroll...
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.
Ideally in stacks of cash to avoid being #brandoned
I didn't even get signing bonus from top BB...
Banks don't want to pay out signing bonuses and then have to chase people down with legal action if they renege
I got my signing bonus 2 weeks after signing my return offer at the end of the summer.
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.
All Jefferies incoming analysts got the 10k bonus at the end of march this year, the ones that accepted a return offer within 10 days also got 5k in October of last year. Getting the money before the start is so helpful to set everything up and make sure we don’t have to lean on our parents.
If they gave you your FT signing bonus right after your internship, wouldn’t that reduce your taxes? Your total comp will be much lower during that fiscal year.
I got mine last week ahead of my July 22 start.
at least you're getting one lol some banks didn't even give them, and no they're not small regional boutiques either
I am at top BB, but they didn't give me sign-on bonus when I sign up back then. Still mad about it.
