Company A - 100k base + 35k sign + higher bonus
Company B - 125k base + 10k sign + lower bonus

Company A is a good bit more superior in terms of exit opps and has better WLB and growth. I feel I’ll be happier at A. Thoughts?

Take A - but make sure you have their max offer. Hard to imagine A company won’t bump the base 10-15K in effort to match your second offer.

Sometimes you can also negotiate PTO if that is something of value to you, if they can’t get as close on $$ as you would like

PTO is better at A, B does unlimited PTO 🙄

Pick A. The higher base at B looks enticing, but because the WLB at A is better, the hourly wages you get at A could be the same or better than company B. Company B's salary adds up over time, but you're already thinking about exits, so it's not like you're leaving 30 years worth of 25k earnings on the table.

A sounds like a winner but I would try to negotiate to make the gap between base smaller
