Hi Peter, I am a student who just finished his Masters (F-1) and I am applying for jobs. However, I have not yet received my work authorization from USCIS. Is it legal for me to accept a job offer and receive any relocation/sign up bonus before that happens?

As a general rule, there's no issue with accepting a job offer or even receiving a signing bonus but you can't work until you receive your EAD.
