Are federal job benefits really better than Fortune 500 benefits?

Impossible to guarantee. Each employer can offer their own benefit package and if you are looking at Fortune 500 companies…that is a lot of benefit packages to review and benchmark.

I think so

Federal benefits are better than industry only when it comes to retirement. Pension and fep during retirement is uncommon. Granted you have to be able to get a federal job which is actually hard.. the process is rife with nepotism and inefficiency.

I had federal benefits so I can tell you from experience they are the best benefits that you can ever get in my opinion. I have never had better benefits anywhere.

Any advice on how to pick the best company for me when offered a position from more than 1 company?

I compared benefits, pros/cons, compared them on Glassdoor, questioned them about growth opportunities, asked about their culture.....anything I am missing? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

For people in this bowl who argued that volatility would drop as last week progressed, nice call👏! But curious as to what the thought process is, especially given the volatile earnings season, rising # of cases, weakness in improving economic data. Did not expect UVXY to fall as much as it did last well, can anyone explain if they expect this to continue these next few weeks/why this happened last week?

Hi all! Is anyone here in Underwriting? Just want some thoughts on this as i’ve recently gotten an offer for an Underwriting Associate position and have never done any salary negotiations before. Does it seem unrealistic for my counter offer to be 12k more than the original offer? Considering that the original offer is roughly 8k less than the market salary. Plus i’m also accounting for wiggle room as i’m not expecting them to actually agree with the full 12k counter offer
