I once took a job solely for the health care (which started day one) and stayed on long enough to complete the procedure I needed to have done (about six months). Anyone ever done the same? I hated the job and I felt guilty that I knew I wasn’t in it for the long haul. But man, that health care in that season of my life quite literally saved my life. Have you ever been in a similar position? Where you took a job you didn’t care for solely because of the benefits?

I haven't just for benefits. I can't fault you for doing it though, if I was in your shoes I'd have done the same. You shouldn't feel badly about it. That's a systemic problem in America caused by tying healthcare to employment.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me.

Anybody know salary range for VP Operations for GS in SLC?

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
