Yes. But mainly if you’re coming in with some sort of experience. Sign on bonuses are recruiting tools to hedge against you going to another firm. Apply to another firm and let the recruiter know you’re considering another offer.

Sign on bonus I negotiated was 32k

Also often used by recruiters as a tool to get you in when you're maxing out at a current band. Can't justify increasing your salary by another $10-20k? Ask for the one time bonus. It ends up being less overall due to compound raises and the rate at which it's taxed, but it's better than nothing.
