so either place has the same mobility. i don't think i could move upwards in 2 years either way, maybe 4 because of the recent change in roles. yeah i do need to live lol
the kind of work i do there really isn't any way to do freelancing. though i have thought about it. i think the doctors would still be in network, but the problem is still that i'd be getting paid less overall. i'm leaning towards "no" on this mostly because of benefits. also if i was going to go that route, i could cut in half the amount i pay in healthcare now and take a $300 deductible for the year.
i have an appointment with a dermatologist in about two weeks, i had an appointment with an ophthalmologist a few months back so i do use it. not "i'll die without my pills" but "hey i'm not worried about going to the doctor and asking a question because the copay is only $50"
it would have to be at least 8-10k more than they're offering right now in order to even be on par after all benefit costs have been taken out. i told them i'd call them back on monday because of the holiday but i don't think they're going to go for it
i actually got called on the phone by the HR rep from the company and was given an offer in writing. this just looks like a job description some recruiter sent
idk i'll ask someone who has been in the industry longer than me @Cancer what do you think. higher salary but a 6k cut in total comp, but a better commute and a better work environment. or higher comp, lower salary. ok commute and you're 24x7
so the healthcare/vision would be more expensive, dental is about the same, 401k match is way worse, PTO is the same (25 days) but less carryover but they do buy back PTO which is nice. no legal benefits. bonus is about the same.
the salary was higher but the benefits weren't as good. it's been very hard to find a company that has better benefits. even at places i haven't gotten offers from, their benefits have been really crap.
