Asking for more comp. I have the option to ask for more salary or a one time bonus. Not sure how long I’ll be at the company, but given the labor market it makes sense to stay. Not as easy to job hop anymore. Should I opt to get more salary or the one time bonus? I already got a raise on top before this, but my skills in the market have become more valuable so I think I should be compensated for it.

Do you know comparatively the difference what you’d get in bonus vs base?

If you think you will leave in the next 3-5years go for the one time bonus (if greater than $10k) if it’s less than that I’d just stick with the comp raise
