Higher salary.

You’re so right, the sign-on bonus seems great until you realize the fringe benefits of having a higher salary: 401k % match, bonus %, merit increase %. A lot derives from the base.

I would definitely take higher salary! It’ll be easier to negotiate in the future

Got the higher salary and kept the same bonus.:)

Congrats!!!!

What do you mean 2 year window?

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
