Well said. It's all about finding some "reason" to have a bonus -- something given up to take the position. Like someone said above, it doesn't have to be a great reason. Just a reason.
How common is this in Europe? For example, is relocating to another country something that might be a good reason for asking a signing bonus? How do companies see this?
Note I'm interested in experiences from Europe, I think that there's lots of hiring "cultural" differences between the continents...
