<prompt> Human: Ive been at a job for over a year that I just dread. The place pays well, great benefits, RSP and profit sharing to boot. Anually I clear about 75k benefits in. oh, and the bonus is fantastic. I unfortunately just hate the work, and the industry, and I just want out more than I could ever explain. I was poached on LinkedIn for a role in a company and industry that is much more my style. The pay is comparable, and the benefits are also ok, but there is no bonus. Im actually ok with that too.The problem? They want me to start July 1st or earlier, which is more than fair, I can give notice and take some time off before I start. BUT my bonus from my current job is due to pay out the last week of july. It is a 6500 cash payout that is only payable if Im employed the DATE OF THE PAYOUT. Even though the bonus is earned and confirmed, if I quit before it pays I wont get it due to the terms of the bonus payout rules.I dont know if I can walk away from 6500, but I hate the job and have an opportunity to do something I want to do. The 6500 would wipe out all remaining debt I have overnight, and Id finally be debt free. But Ill lose out on the new job as they need someone by a certain date.What would you do?EDIT - Thanks for all the feedback! I think I have a plan for trying for both the bonus and the new role, but ultimately Ill walk from the bonus if I have no choice.  <response>: Is it worth 6500 to you to take a position that youll enjoy? To get out of a job that you dont like?People spend way more than 6500 in expenses trying to get jobs. Whether its education or moving and housing costs.I would say if youre confident that this opportunity is good and youll be happier, take it. Dont be stuck in that job you dont like three years from now over 6500.
