I haven't seen many/any signing bonuses, but I've seen a couple thousand dollars for a "moving stipend," which always cracks me up because it's usually with your first paycheck so by then you've already moved and paid for your move. This past summer, as a summer associate in development, I got $2,000. I'd imagine full time would be more.

If someone gives me a few thousand upfront or with my first paycheck, though, I don't really care what they call it.

does this really matter? this guy posts so many questions that miss the big picture. biglaw pay bumps? development vs acquisitions pay? how much of the commission at eastdil goes to the analyst?
