When to give notice of quitting (bonus timing)?

Have a lateral offer to join another firm this fall and need to notify my current firm. Bonuses are paid out at the end of June — is it standard practice to wait until bonuses are actually paid out before putting in my notice? Or would it be better if I have them notice earlier so would have more time to transition my deals, portcos, etc.? And is two weeks still customary or do people do more/less these days?
