Those are really diverse options, would ask yourself the following questions in this order:

1) do all options provide sufficient cash (i.e. if one of these options doesn’t pay enough cash to support your lifestyle, discard the option)

2) what do you want to do long-term, which option are you most excited about (always want to think long term, and pick a path you will be committed to)

3) which path provides the most financial upside / growth

Fair point - I view that as implicitly assumed across points 1 and 3. Everyone is their own person, but if your needs are met for today, then I just assume look at the potential upside

I would think back to the interactions you've had with each team and/or what you know about satisfaction at each company. Yes, as a leader, you are responsible for improving things for your employees. But if you're coming into a company that already has low morale or high turnover, that's going to put a lot of undue pressure on your role.

Hello, I have received offer letter from EY LLP for Manager position.
There is a bonus component over and above the CTC mentioned in offer letter.

When asked, HR conveyed the below, verbally.
'Bonus is between 10-20% depending on performance. Usually 15% on an average.'

1) This bonus range (10-20%) is not mentioned in the offer letter. Is this usually the case?

2) Are people in EY receiving the bonus right from the first year on the job or is there some extra t&c I was not made aware?

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.
