S1 didn’t get his signing bonus until after he started work – and was surprised when about 1/3 was automatically deducted for taxes (fed and state). He had savings in the bank to front the bills, but we were prepared to make a short-term loan if he needed to put down a bigger deposit.

Will your S get a hotel or temp place covered by the employer? Some places will give you two weeks in a temp apartment so one can find a place to live and get set up (esp. in Silicon Valley, where housing is in short supply and not many folks haul their belongings cross-country).
