Should I expect relocation bonus and signing bonus when lateraling from one shop to another (top MM)? If not, is it bad to ask for one? I guess my question really stems from how easy it is to negotiate stuff like this and general compensation when lateraling to a large shop that may be fairly standardized. Thanks for the help.

Reloc yeah, signing probably not
I lateraled into a MM. I got both signing and relocation. Not sure if it's standardized or what.
As an update I got a Signing Bonus intended to cover relocation expenses (think 10-15kish)
Did you switch cities?
Yes
I don't see any problems asking for it
As a general rule at my BB, "signing bonus" only happens at senior levels. Relocation happens for everyone. Obviously the line is murky between the two but the relo amount based on a formula dependent on where you live, how big your family is (or if you're single), and where you are moving too. If you arent switching cities you generally get nothing.
Is all this above buying you out of the first 2-3 months of your bonus and any deferred bonus comp?
