There is no " standard" to the Sign On Bonus. The average range for FM is $5,000 to $10,000. But there are definately those who get more. A fellow resident who graduated with me had a Sign On Bonus of $75,000!!! That is the highest I ever heard, and it is definately an anomaly.
I've had signing bonus ranged from 10K-20K in the rural setting. However, they take taxes out before they give you the money. Also, usually if you quit before a certain amount of time (I haven't stayed at any job more than 4 months) you may have to pay it back.
Well said, Blue Dog. Learned that the hard way. I seem to have always come up with the ***** running establishments which is why I'm better off as locums.
