Those don't move the needle at all for me. WFH accommodations or a crazy PTO policy would. $100/month to use on a gym membership? Nice, but not better than a raise.

I would agree with you! I would actually love both though.
It always worried me a bit to put a lot of importance on those perks. I never know when they might get phased out. Salary is a bit more stable for my tastes.

That’s true. I didn’t think of how they phase out a lot of perks.
When I’m asked about salary expectations, I usually turn it around and say: For a person with my skills, qualifications, and languages, what does the company have to offer? This is without factoring in the benefits.

I’ll have to remember this. Thank you!
Base pay is always my priority. I would rather go for a higher base pay and just figure out the rest of the benefits over prioritizing benefits and taking a paycut. Especailly in this economy.

I think that’s how I want to approach it too. Thanks
