Stuck between two jobs, wanting better experience vs. quitting for bonus money

Faced with quitting a 2-year job for a better experience or taking a bonus, I'm burnt out and unsure what to do

What I wish I knew
"To consider my long-term goals and prioritize my well-being over short-term gains"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't let fear of missing out or short-term benefits cloud your judgment, prioritize your mental health and career goals"
