It all depends on how much more of each. If there isn't a significant difference one way or the other, I think it'd most likely just end up being a wash - I'm not really making any more money if the added pay just goes right back to paying for my own benefits out of pocket.

That's a tough question cause it kind of depends on which benefits I'm losing. I'm not planning on having kids so I wouldn't mind trading out paternity leave benefits, but losing the insurance might end up being a net negative. I guess in general I'd tend to prefer having more money though.

I would always take more money and less benefits. That being said, I'm pretty sure the right answer is take more benefits and less money. I'd still take more money and less benefits.

More pay for sure. Unless benefits that I expect to utilize outweigh the monetary difference.

Novel concept, do the math

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?

I'm accepting an offer with a new company... Start in early Aug. Senior Manager role, though in this company that equates to Manager at most consulting farms. They did not had hunt me. I came to them for the job.

I have COVID delayed vacations planned for the last week in August and the first week in October.

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.
