Your recruiter is the guy with the lot full of used Toyotas he needs to sell, you are the one walking around with the wad of cash in your hand. But if they're throwing money at you, it's because they have trouble filling the job, not because they're nice guys, so don't let the money affect your decision. But bonuses are taxable, some are paid out slowly over time, and you're going to feel dumb and bitter if at the end of year four your friends are getting out and getting $80k/yr jobs and you're still making $30k/yr for the next two years because that $40k sounded amazing four years ago, and not so much now.īasically, totally ignore bonuses when choosing a job, but pretend a bonus would sway you, and if the government just so happens to throw wads of money at you, roll with it. I know that sounds amazing as a young person.

I don't know the current specific bonus situation for Army, but let's say in theory you can sign 4 years for no bonus or 6 years for $40k. But I wouldn't take a job you wanted less, or add an extra two years, even for money like $40k unless doing so actually fits with your life plans.
