A conditional bonus is money in your pocket, yes, but it is not a pay raise. Pay raises are contractual and enforceable, conditional bonuses are temporary and can disappear faster than they came to exist. So, it may be money for you to go play with, but in 2 years you might find yourself trying to live with no conditional bonus, plan and live carefully...

Good for you on a personal level. I'm sure this money that brings your overall pay back to industry standard helps tremendously for you and your family. But it's not a pay raise, it's a conditional bonus.

As long as you admit this retention bonus a) isn't a pay raise and b) won't actually retain you, I wouldn't care if it were a check for $26,666.
