I’ve been paying more attention to benefits lately and how much they actually factor into where I choose to work. Beyond salary, things like health coverage, flexibility, and time off can really shape the experience. How much do company benefits influence your decision to stay or move?

Currently I’m at a firm where my insurance is covered by my employer. All we have to do is during open enrollment watch a 15 minute video to earn the credit. Adding dependent and partner comes out to be around $1500 for the year. Out of pocket costs are $25-40 copays. For me this is an extremely important incentive which is why it’s kept me at my current employer. I also get 26-28 PTO days excluding holidays

A lot. Health insurance, 401k and PTO should be important benefits to consider before you move jobs.
