Is it normal to ask about health insurance benefits of a company where you have an offer? Got an official offer but have no idea what the health insurance plans are like. Any smart tactful way to ask?

They usually send the benefits package with the offer letter. Totally fair to ask, benefits can be ~25% of your total comp.

Don't stop there. Ask if there are any other benefits you should be aware of to count as compensation.

I’ve never received a written offer that didn’t come with a detailed benefits overview

Yes it’s normal, just ask

I usually ask about benefits during the initial stages

yes!!?

Ask for a rundown of the full benefits package. Holidays+PTO or Holidays+Vacation+Sick or flex time. Pension Y/N and vesting path. Percentage match on 401K. Health insurance options. Etc.

Definitely ask for their Benefit Package Summary, otherwise how can you make a full comparison to current job?

Google this instead of asking about it. But if they already offered, then just send an email asking them

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?
