How many different industries have you worked in? What has been the best for salary and benefits? For me, I’ve been in religious, banking, tech, and insurance and incredibly, insurance has been the best to me and my family.

That's super interesting, I've been in retail, healthcare, and insurance, but i thought healthcare was better than insurance for my benefits and salary. I'm trying to figure out how to go back to healthcare because insurance is just depressing these days.

I've worked in healthcare and healthcare only. I'm jealous of those with other experiences. It's always something I wish I explored, but kinda just stuck to what was comfortable for me.

I've only worked two: social work and marketing. I make double in marketing what I made in 10 years of social work. I don't think I could ever go back to nonprofits, simply because of the incredibly low salary.

Only one highly regulated industry: agriculture. I think the overall benefits are comparable with many others.
401k match 6% match for the current calendar year plus 3% if working towards the end of march of the following years
No retention bonus or stock unless reaching certain senior job level
Salary range at one job level is super broad

7 in total through the few careers I have had. Warehouse worker, carpenters labor, Carpenter, military, security, IT in higher education, MSP, automotive (IT). I'm 46 years old and the best pay was IT in automotive and the best benefits was IT in higher education.
