Is the bonus guaranteed in writing? If not, forget about it. Bonuses have a way of not materializing or being for less than promised.

Having multiple jobs on your resume starts to count against you at some point. Potential employers don't want to take the time and effort and expense of training new employees who are going to jump ship as soon as the company down the street makes them a better deal.

That would be an incorrect assumption, IMO. Just because someone earns more, doesn't mean they have a higher position or a better career path. All it means is that they earn more.

As noted by aida, you also have to consider that a higher salary from day one might equate to lower increases along the way. You could find that 5 years from now, you will be making the same amount with the new company that you would have been making with the old company had you stayed there.
