I've been fortunate to receive 3 written offers. Do I take a higher base (95%), lower bonus (5%), hybrid or lower base (80%), higher bonus (20%), remote? Plus, aren't bonuses taxed higher? Each are close in total package range ($250k), benefits, WLB, etc. Concerned about relying so much on bonus given potential economic downturn. Although, the company has paid bonuses 100% since 2018.

Depends on whether you care about hybrid or remote. All things equal it’s way better to have a higher base pay bc of taxes and the certainty of that income.

I wanted remote although will be able to negotiate more flexibility after 1 yr. based on discussions with HR and hiring manager.

My primary deciding factor would be hybrid or remote. Financially speaking, I'd go with the higher base, lower bonus. More stability that way. But if you're dead-set against working in-office, then the other offer would make more sense.

like

How is the bonus calculated? By team? By product? By region? Company wide?

Are any of these companies publicly traded?

Do all companies have similar medical benefits? And/or 401k matching?

Are all 3 companies 100% remote? Or do any of them have an in-office element?

Are the products similar? Are some D2C while others are B2b?

All are elements that might play into my system

I have a spreadsheet with weighted % for several items (salary, flexibility, benefits, etc.) It comes down to remote lower salary B2B vs hybrid higher salary (about $1500 more per month) D2C. The top two came very close so I'm torn. The bonus is calculated via team, and company performance. It’s part of a top 3 advertising holding co so publically traded.

Bonuses are taxed WAY higher than salary, at least in NYC. And, unless you’re guaranteed a certain percentage in your offer letter, past company bonuses do not guarantee future ones.

I would go with the higher base
