Important Benefits to Consider When Applying for a Job
By: Lauren Hargrave
When embarking on your job search, it can be tempting to focus on position title and salary. These are important factors, but they might not be the most important factors when considering which job to take. For instance, if you have a family and an employer offers to pay for all or most of the premiums for high-quality health plans, this might be worth more to you than an extra $10,000 in annual salary (both financially and for peace of mind). Or what if they offer contribution matching to an HSA? That’s literally free money.
