What's better, being hourly or salary? On the one hand, a salary is guaranteed, but on the other hand, an hourly rate allows you to earn overtime pay.

That is dependent on the job. I can’t tell you how many times I hear about people doing the math, and what they make hourly is abysmal because of how much they have to work.

I'd prefer a salaried position because that would generally come with better benefits. Plus, there's some stability to it, I'll know what I'll be doing and what I'll be paid. Depending on the job and company, hourly workers can have their hours cut, and I know from jobs I had years ago how chaotic that can be.

Depends…the difference between exempt and non-exempt in my company is the percentage of annual bonuses. Salaried employees make approximately 3x more in bonuses than hourly employees. Salaried employees bonuses range from14.5% to 48% of our salary. Salary employees are typically higher pay grades and make more annually as well.

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
