No, I didn't negotiate a 25% bonus as I didn't choose the job based on the salary. Of course I need a decent salary, but I took the job because I like what I'm doing here and I'm fascinated by the work. Much of what I do now during working hours was what I did before on side projects. It's fun for me to work on it and the employer gives me flexibility to test my ideas. So both parties benefit from this arrangement. I wouldn't trade my job against a better paying job with strict 40h/week if I don't like it as much. And I wouldn't want an employer where every working day is strictly 9-5, no matter what project you're on or how the workload is.
