Isn’t the whole point of bonuses to make a position more attractive, by offering a possible total compensation that’s higher than would be financially feasible/responsible if it was all guaranteed? So might be a worthwhile trade-off for an employee, depending on their appetite for risk.

Unless you think it’s a scam and most companies could afford to pay you the higher salary but decide not to. I’m not sure that would be very sustainable though.
