Posting for a friend in industry: take job offer at highly desirable/competitive company with a 40k raise and better work environment, or take counter offer w/ no change in salary (140k), but a 200k bonus paid out in 4 installments over 2 years, with a goal to promote to Sr.Manager over that period? Let’s say the new opp won’t come around again that easily. Help! Should they take the cash or take the opportunity with little facts known?

Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
