the bonus structure is usually set up so you make 20% and you also receive 3-5 year goals that payout even more to incentize you to stay. Obviously, you have you have to be able to survive on the base, but weighing the quality of life changes with higher long term upside may be worth it. Plus you may have an agency working for you and you will be part of the small pool of clients that are well-loved and "get it"
