If I won't be needing health insurance from a full time gig could I ask that be added to my paycheck?

I doubt your agency will give you a buy back. Each agency has a different rule, though.

Be sure, if you're getting insurance from a partner's plan, you confirm you don't have to elect to take coverage from your employer.

My spouse's insurance required I take it through my employer if offered.

I'm under my parents plan, I don't think that that's a concern there but I could be wrong.

And cool I'll just ask what their policy is on that

You never have to buy in to your employer's health plan. To CM1s point, certain restrictions apply when it comes to spouses, but doesn't sound like that's your issue.

Oh I mean...don't full time places pay for your insurance as part of their benefits? My question is if I'm not accepting that free insurance than could I be compensated for it? I could be wrong about how insurance
Works lol

They offer it to you as a benefit, but you still pay a good amount for it unless you work for Google. It's part of their benefits package, but you simply won't pay to have it if you're opting out, it's not like you're going to get anything extra for not using it.

A portion of your check goes towards healthcare. It is not free, you just get a company rate. So if you opt out of healthcare you should be able to save each pay period.

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Any advice on how to pick the best company for me when offered a position from more than 1 company?

I compared benefits, pros/cons, compared them on Glassdoor, questioned them about growth opportunities, asked about their culture.....anything I am missing? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?
