Comp vs. Title what is better?

3yrs of experience and recently promoted to AS2 with 85% and 105% bonus in past two years.

However there’s a lady now with 11yrs experience who has finally made VP1 after being held for several years with 30-40% bonus and is not seen as the best but promoted due to tenor. Expectations is that VP is their ceiling.


Should I focus more on the money or the title and anyone have this situation?
