I'm a bit confused. I've had companies in the past offer a base salary
plus bonus based on company profits. Is this what you are saying, or are
you saying that if you do good, you could get up to an additional 10% of
your salary as a bonus? If it's the latter, and you do good, you're
saying you would make $49.5K with the bonus, still less than the $50K
they would have offered without the bonus.


Factor in that bonuses have a higher tax rate (55-60% IME) and that number
comes down even further, $47,025.
