Well, what do you like?
Are you interested in being a medical director at some point?
How much does time off matter to you?

I'd also try to do some match specific to you. How much do you want to work? How many patients do you want to see?
If you know the answer to that, you can see how much money you'd get paid under each scenario. You'd want to know exactly under which circumstances you'd hit the bonus. The second job is potentially more lucrative, but maybe you'd need to do a lot more work to get there. Is it worth it to you?

Personally, I wouldn't take either of those two jobs, since I insist on being an independent contractor, but to each their own.
