Would you take a role that has the same bonus but twice the bonus? Eg. base $200k but one role has 12% bonus and the other role can vary between 25-30% bonus? I’m at 200k and starting to think my base might be capped now and need to be open to switching for same base higher bonus. Thoughts?

Based on money alone yes. More money is more money.

Generally the 200-250 base range is going to be hard to break out of, without getting into executive roles or having 20+ years YOE. So yes, be open to higher bonuses. That said, they’re never guaranteed and should always be taken with a slight grain of salt IMO.

I’m thinking you meant same base?
Is the bonus the only reason you’re looking to leave? Do you like everything else about your job?
Unless it’s also a step up in some way that’s not not bonus related (base decently increased, move up a level, better work group, better tools, better clients to work with, etc), it may not usually be worth it to restart building a network from “scratch” (obviously your whole network won’t be from scratch, but you have to develop brand new relationships and make yourself known in some way at a new firm now).

Nah. I’d only make a decision on a base salary. Bonuses of any kind are just icing on the cake. Taxed a ton, never guaranteed, one time thing. Ask if they’d be willing to lower your bonus to 15% and add another 10-15% to your base pay.

Lots to learn SC1. May be true at jr levels- as you move up, more and more of your comp will shift from guaranteed to performance based. Bonus, long term incentives, RSUs, Equity etc.

Enjoy the high %of guaranteed total income while you can!

Assuming ceteris paribus, and that you meant base, duh.

How many YOE?

So I'm asking two questions - how do we use the sites to build solidarity and organize unions but also can the sites better facilitate this process?
