do firms generally only offer bonuses for art. iii clerkships or do they throw mag/bk clerks a bone too?

Most consider any federal clerkship the same for bonuses (sans SCOTUS). This coming from a mag clerk in which my peers and myself all got normal bonuses.

Between myself and my-co clerks, 7 out of 7 firms said they would give full bonuses for our clerkships. We talked about it a lot. One of them might have negotiated a little to get it. But this was when the market was doing well.

Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?

Would it benefit me to take a pay cut as a transactional clerk by about $20k to work as a clerk for a year then re-enter firm life? I’m transactional and enjoy that line of work.
