Do corp finance roles get sign-on bonuses?

Hi WSO,

Would anyone know how likely corporate finance roles receive sign-on bonuses with their offers? I have not seen a offer personally with a sign-on bonus but my friend, who job hops around has been saying he has received sign on bonuses between 15k-20k each time. Has anyone else seen sign-on bonuses for corporate finance? If so, is that something you have to negotiate?

Thank you in advance for your insights.

In my experience, if you are expected to relocate from your current city some kind of relocation expense + sign on bonus is more likely. I would assume that would not be the case if you're taking another role within your current city.
