What would a good benefit package look like in industry for a senior accounting position? Like in terms of PTO, 401(k) match, etc. The one major thing I’m noticing is the number of places that make you use vacation days as sick days.

Why do you want sick days? Usually firms give you more pto days to make up for the lack of sick days. I’ve rarely taken a sick day so I’d rather have extra pto.

Oh yeah those are no fun and can’t work them

OP usually if there are no sick days the PTO will account for that (will be more days).

Probably like 25 days of PTO and at least a 4% 401(k) match.

Not sure I can answer your question but I will say that I’ve never worked anywhere that allowed actual sick days.

Really? I’ve worked at a non-profit that even had X number of sick/personal days and Y number of vacation days based on an accrual rate.

Thats a hard question since benefit package vary so much between industries. Its probably easier for you to narrow down what you absolutely want and what you can be flexible on. Working with a recruiter makes it easy as they can filter out what doesnt meet your qualifications. Industry benefits across the board are GENERALLY not as good as public so i wouldn’t get your hopes up. For example most place ive seen/interview with usually have between 12-15 pto days. while in public I was getting 25 days.

I got an offer for an entry level accounting position that offered 15 days pto (including vacation, sick, and personal), 401k match 100% employer match on first 3% contributed, and 50% employer match on next 2%, the usual healthcare coverage benefits, life insurance, and $500-$2k educational reimbursement

If you know that life, I’m pretty much the main parent for our kids. I don’t want to work in the hospital/floor work anymore; nor do I believe the hrs are flexible enough.

I’ve been in an in-house role since the beginning of the year and just gave 2 weeks’ notice to leave for a much better paying and better titled position. The response has been very petty, to the point that I’ve been called unprofessional even after I asked the hiring attorney whether I could give longer notice at the current company’s request. Is this normal?
