A2A Sign On Bonus

Since some banks across the street have changed base salaries at the associate level, was wondering what analyst to associate promotion sign ons are these days. What is street these days? Seems like historically there has been a range around 40k-60k. Would be good to hear what BBs pay have been paying out recently. Thanks.

My understanding was that they'd get their A3 bonus paid out earlier during the year and their A0 stub bonus paid out at the end. I would think a signing bonus would be excluded since, you know, they didn't sign on to the shop from business school or anything, but idk - YMMV
