$10k. I've never tried to negotiate one, just my salary. I figure as long as I'm happy with that number, any sign on bonus is just icing on the cake.

Same here! Both the amount and goals

$265k but spread out over two years. The model is pretty standard at Amazon but I negotiated higher to compensate for stocks I was walking away from at the previous company

Never tried negotiating on the signing bonus. Once a firm couldn’t match my expected salary, so they decided to offer the delta as a signing bonus. It wasn’t much, $5k or so.
