<prompt> Human: My employer and I have had a performance based goal lined out for me for the past few months and I recently achieved this goal. They gave me the option of either A getting the agreed upon bonus or B an increase in base salary by the agreed upon bonus amount. I am leaning towards B and feel that a majority of you guys will agree with this. However, I was just curious if there would ever be a reason that I would go with option A outside of needing the money right now which I dont. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!  <response>: If you plan to leave within a few months, it might be good to take the bonus now and find another job. If you dont plan on leaving, then take the raise
