For those of you with young kids, how much weight do you put on childcare benefits when contemplating an offer? My oldest is just now in school, and we live in the Midwest. Today is the 3rd time this year school has been cancelled due to the weather. My boss is okay if I WFH those days, but tbh it’s hard to get anything done. I started looking into backup childcare but it’s time-consuming and expensive. What kinds of benefits are out there and how valuable are they to you?

There are none that I know of. I'd value the heck out of them if they existed though. Having two kids in daycare costs about as much as our mortgage payment. I'm torn between loving the ages they are right now and wishing they were old enough to start public school.

We don’t have any childcare benefits at my company, and we are expected to work full-time in the office. Childcare has become incredibly expensive, and we’re trying to figure out our options. I’m looking for a company that offers childcare support—I know there are some out there.

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?
