Does anyone actually care about all the little extras that companies offer - like casual days, gym memberships, coffee bar, etc?

Nope. All I care about is having more money and time to spend with my family.

Yes. Those are benefits and can add up if you use them. I get a great discount on my gym membership and that gives me more usable income. Coffee bars make going into the office more tolerable (and I only go in a few days/month). Pre-VID we had casual days on Fridays and that made it less stressful that one day/week to get ready in the morning.

At least at my firm, yes I value them. Wow fund, wellness fund, etc have been heavily utilized.

I care about fitness benefits.

They're definitely important to some extent. I don't work with a company solely for the benefits, but they definitely add up. My previous place offered us memberships to Equinox, and the total value of that every year is around $3500, which is pretty hefty and I got a lot of use out of it. Don't sleep on the perks!

Yes unless you’re a lazy blob

Fitness benefits and insurance

Yes, very much love the mentioned perks BUT doesn’t replace salary/insurance benefits

Money money money

If the compensation package isn't good enough to already be attractive, these things don't make up for that imo. All things being equal, though, I do think they make a difference - I'd miss the perks if I left for somewhere that didn't have them, even if the money was better.

Nope!! When do you have time or energy? Coffee? I don't drink it. Shopping? Nope, too expensive, etc

Yes I do. I want that free lunch

If kpmg paid for my gym memberships id be less inclined to try and leave....and the 20 dollars off a 200+ dollar lifetime/equinox membership we get isnt what i mean

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does. I see a lot of open roles - managers, senior strategists etc. I have a top 20 MBA and about 8 years of big 4 experience in consulting - would this be the right kind of role to get into? Or is it more engineering?

I’m having a hard time understanding the salary /TC ranges for mid- to senior-level strategy positions in the Denver area (10-15 YOE). They seem to vary a lot, and are broadly low vs. other markets (mid $100k-low $200k vs TC closer to $300-$400k+ on the coasts). Any observations? Which companies would you look at for more substantial comp outside consulting?
