<prompt> Human: My wife is considering an offer of 48kyear versus 44kyear 4 guaranteed quarterly 1000 bonuses. Because of the tax rates on bonuses, Im willing to admit the former is a better deal but my argument is that the difference is marginal especially when considering the offer of the later is a better place to work with more opportunity for growth. Any insight?  <response>: Higher base since it wont go away. Bonuses can.
