You first
At Blair we got 0. Understandable because they gave everyone offers, but still kind of sucks
Poor you. You must have it really rough.
I mean, I was counting on summer earnings + signing bonus to cover my tuition and living expenses for the year. In a typical year would make $15k over the summer and another $10k signing, this year they cut us to $7500 and I had to get a fast food job to cover my rent for the school year. So it certainly isn’t ideal...
I mean I would’ve been pissed too if I didn’t get a full-time signing bonus (~15k, 8.5ish after tax). You do realize many people actually need that signing bonus money to move-in to their new apartment full-time?? I would have never been able to afford my apartment without my signing bonus. With 2-3 month rent / security deposit up front, furniture costs, travel costs to the city, etc, you need at least 10k minimum in cash up front to sign an apartment.
I’m not sure if you’re from a wealth family and your daddy can write you a check whenever you want, but I sure needed the full signing bonus to get me started on my career and I assume the OP needs it too.
I read all of your comments and I’m not sure why you felt the need to be so aggressive to the op.. he literally said that it “kind of sucks” and you’re saying he’s crying and whining, what is your deal? It’s almost like you intentionally are trying to be angry about something
Edit: and more importantly his comment was literally on a thread asking about the ft sign on bonus. It’s not like it was unreasonable to answer the actual OP’s question
Can you PM me? Have a question about Blair.
This is inaccurate. A friend of mine is at Blair and showed me their offer letter with a signing bonus included.
For this summer? if so, that really sucks cuz then I’m getting screwed double.
My friend from Blair also did not receive a signing bonus...
I’m not sure about this, unless they’ve changed it this year. Blair never gave sign on bonuses to interns, and they also don’t give sign on bonuses for converting an internship / FT analyst position and they also don’t give promotion/sign on bonuses for associates. Everyone thinks Blair pays above street but they really don’t. My flatmate works there and I’ve made the same as him every year and I’m at a BB.
Friend at Blair got 10k
Correct - they just added it to the offer a week or two ago. Pretty cool of them to do.
I got 7.5k at a MM.
same here
10k BB

When do banks pay out signing bonuses? Immediately or closer to the start date?
My signing bonus (BB) was paid a few weeks before my start date. However, because of COVID, I believe my firm sped up the normal payout time. I think it's normally right around the start date.

edited cuz guh
Dude stfu?
10k sign on and 7.5k early acceptance bonus
Boutique but not EB. Could be called MM too
who dis? FTP?
No. Industry specific though
What were the deadlines for early and normal acceptance?
MBA associate, so not sure if applicable to the analyst set but for MBAs the full signing bonus is broken into 3:
40-50K signing bonus (you get this if you sign before your school-protected deadline, which is usually Sept/Oct for an offer received in August)
5 - 10k Moving stipend (you get this even if you already live in NYC)
10 - 15k early signing bonus (generally you have 2 weeks post-offer)
Generally, all in you are talking 50 - 80k pre-tax, with BBs at the low end and EBs at the high end. The other annoying thing is that BBs won't pay out until you start (so if you summered in 2020, you would get it summer 2021) wheras EBs usually pay by same year end (so by December 2020, in this example). That makes a huge difference when you are planning the dozen international trips for your 2nd MBA year (RIP class of 2021).
"I know one bank that has had a lot of trouble recruiting women offered something well over 100k to one of their summers" - Sometimes I wonder if the gender pay gap still exists
Yes, it does.
Does that answer your stupid question?
Where can I get more details on the diversity scholarships?
Your mba Investment Banking Club
Thank you, any other data points from this summer, BB or EB for MBA associates?
10k at a Mid-Tier BB
The perk of not having to recruit FT in an extremely tough time to recruit for FT lol
25k at EVR for returning summer analysts. 15k is a signing bonus and 10k is an early acceptance bonus if you accept within 3 weeks. Offer expires in 4 weeks.
Quick question does that early acceptance bonus exist for lateral hires too? Like if you summered elsewhere and then leveraged a return offer from them to get FT offer from another firm? Or in that case is it just the 'signing bonus' (15k in your example) that you receive?
That’s a great question and unfortunately I don’t know the answer. Because in the contract it states the amount is “early signing bonus for returning summer analysts” I would presume that it doesn’t apply to laterals. However, it could be that they give laterals the 15k bonus under a different name. Maybe a lateral hire can chime in here
$10K Lincoln
15k top MM
HL for the win.
JEF
15k, MF/UMM PE analyst program
Associate - $50k signing bonus at top MM.
Is there an extra early signing component and moving component?
Big 4....1k:((((
Bruh what is up with people going anonymous and still not saying bank name? Like you’re anonymous, don’t need to say “top MM”. There’s 50+ kids in your SA class so just name the damn bank
For summer analysts, yes that’d make sense. For summer associates, it’d still be better to not disclose. Cohorts can be significantly smaller, especially at an EB or a MM.
Plus, if FT return offers are indeed down, I wouldn’t criticize anyone for not disclosing.
Any idea what DB's signing bonus is?
A stein (DB logo ofc) with a donut in it to get you accustomed to getting a big ole 0 for your bonus in the future

$50K at Centerview still
Never gonna be able to wrap my head around that 50k Centerview bonus at the age of 21, baller as fuck.
About ~$35k after tax to my understanding (still nothing to complain about), but they claw back the full $50K prorated portion if you leave before your 3 years
$12.5k in consulting tho
What firm? This definitely isn't MBB in the US.
ACN Strategy
15k EB
10k signing and 2.5k relocation at an MM.

BB in London: £5k
Rbc $1,000,000
20k gugg all-in: 5k early sign on + 10k sign on + 5k relocation
How long do they give for "early" generally? Just curious
I was given four days, but i think its usually more like 1-2 weeks
2 weeks. Also, the 5k relocation only comes with your first paycheck, while the others come after you sign.
top bb return offer for FT - 45k
25k signing bonus (expire same day as FT offer), 10k relocation, 10k early sign on (1 week deadline)
