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.
