Asking about benefits/time off, do you do this before or after they give an offer?

It’s a sign of confidence and is a bargaining chip. “I’m looking for an agency that values...” or “I am looking for an opportunity that supports me as an employee. Can you explain your benefit package, how it compares to others in the industry, and how you feel about it personally?"

After. It’s something to negotiate

After they offer, and before you accept

Before

Before and use it for negotiation. Benefits are a big part of your compensation and a major reflection on the company’s values and view of their employees.

You don’t ask while you’re interviewing - it’s stupid that this is true, but it comes off wrong. I agree with those who suggest that you ask about it after you get an offer and use it to negotiate.

What is PwC India for you?
It's a Big4 but will lowball you during offer negotiation.
It will ask you to work on multiple projects but will hardly appreciate or value your work.
They will ask you to come to the office on Sunday for business critical work and won't give any cab or food facilities.
You will be involved in multiple extra work, which you normally don't do in other service based companies. But there is no benefits/perks for that, you just end up doing extra work!!

I'm not in sales per se but I manage my company's largest wholesale account ($150 million per/yr account). It's a great company, awesome culture, good benefits, flexibility, but the pay is not great ($60K/yr). All the pros outweighed the mediocre pay, but now with inflation rising, my paycheck isn't going as far and I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out if I should start looking elsewhere or if I should ask my boss for a raise.

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
