Maybe you guys can help me. After looking and interviewing for many jobs, I finally landed multiple offers. My problem now is which one to choose. They’re all fully remote and flexible. One offer is not a six figure pay but close and offers yearly bonuses and increases with good PTO and retirement benefits. The other two is a six figure salary and also flex but some of the benefits offered is sus.

I would learn towards long term stability. Maybe it's just where I'm at in life but things like bonuses/retirement/etc. matter to me. I like the first offer personally and if you're looking to stay in that company that would probably be best.

What are you worried about with the benefits for the others? I’d lean towards more of a for sure, but hard to say without knowing. Maybe weigh the guaranteed things first and then figure out the ‘maybe’ benefits.

For me, I would go with the one that offered me the best option for a healthy work life balance and would allow me to live comfortably. For some people, it's all about money and prestige. My suggestion is to figure out what is most important to you in life and go with the position that supports that.

Currently a paralegal at a small start up financial services company been there for just a little over a year. I wear “multiple hats” but more recently I’ve done a lot of PM work and some BA work.
