Unlimited PTO is well-known to be a scam so I wouldn’t view that one as a good option.

like

young family? got with 401k.

unlimited pto is BS.

older fam? go with health insurance.

Health insurance can make a huge difference, talking $10-12K a year gross.

Unlimited PTO is not really a benefit over normal good PTO allowance…

My priorities are in this order…
1. the people i’m working with
2. the work I’m doing
3. the compensation

I have to believe the people I’ll be working with are smarter than me, offer relationships that will help me grow. This is a deal breaker. I have to find the work satisfying. Also, a deal breaker. Finally compensation, I am flexible.

If somehow 1 & 2 are equally satisfying, and you are truly deciding strictly on comp, do the math and go for the biggest number.

PTO is fairly standard, “unlimited” is a joke. Professional development budget is nice, but unless you’re going for MBA, I wouldn’t over value this benefit. Exceptional health insurance and generous 401k match are most appealing, IMO.

If you are planning on growing family, I’d go with best parental leave benefit. That has been the game changer for me.

How did the interviews go? Think about your day to day working with the managers you interviewed with. Benefits packages can always be negotiated. Read online reviews of the companies and determine the best culture fit for you. If you have children, consider the hours you’d be working and how demanding each position is.

Agree that unlimited pto is scammy. As someone with 2 young kids, I'd go with great health insurance with low premiums, assuming other things are at parity. You could also try to nudge/negotiate a benefit that doesn't suit your need. But also agree with others. Which work environment, which culture feels the best?

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?
