Been there. Was ready to leave, got a bonus that was way higher than expected, and suddenly I was like "maybe it's not that bad here." Stayed another year and a half. Looking back I don't regret it because the money was good and I wasn't truly unhappy, just restless. But if you're actually miserable and not just bored, no bonus is worth your mental health.

Yeah mental health more important then everything
I've stayed at a job where I'm not entirely happy and the bonus is one of the reasons to stick around. That's not surprising, I'm sure most companies know it has that effect on people. Even if I could find another position in this job market, which is not clear at all, potentially passing up a bonus would be something to be concerned about.

That’s really true
Yea bonus is a big carrot at the end of the stick. Employers know it. Been there and git a good bonus. Decent job but I regret not moving on, wasnt the right fit. Take that payday and find something else. You'd hr surprised how much $$$ corporate america has, to us ak extra 50k is big bucks but to corporate America its a rounding error

Some time we not take right decisions due to bonus
Pro
Yes bonuses definitely has been a deciding factor whether I stayed or not. My old company gave very little and it wasn’t worth it, considering the amount of hours we had to put in overtime and weren’t paid since we were salaried.

Whats your expecation this year.?
Depends on the bonus amount and the terms. How long would it take me to make that amount somewhere else? If it would take months or years, then I could suck it up and stay at a company for awhile longer unless it was truly horrible

Yeah its depend upon new company offer letter
