For my fellow job seekers, what’s the best benefits package you’ve come across?
For me, I saw there was a First time homebuyer percentage off and a day off for closing at Freddie Mac Share others you’ve seen and at which company/organization/venue, etc… |
| I got a 35k signing bonus one time |
| 6 weeks of leave; free tuition at one of over 700 colleges through the tuition exchange program; retirement matching up to 10%; free parking, food, gym. |
| At a GSE I got 120k sign on |
| New America has 4 weeks PTO year 1, then I think 7 weeks year 2, PLUS the week between Xmas and New Year closed. I thought that was pretty sweet. |
| Spouse’s employer covers 100% of the health insurance for the entire family and it’s a good plan too. |
| My husband gets unlimited vacation time and his employer pays 100% of the health insurance premiums for the whole family. It's excellent coverage that includes 90% reimbursement for most out of network care. |
Wow where was this? |
Personi I don't like unlimited vacation time as a benefit but free health insurance is great!!! |
Do you still save for college just I'm case you change jobs, benefits change, or you are laid off (or for grad school) or do you assume you'll be able to use this benefit? |

My DH has great benefits
-25 PTO days year 1 -15. sick days for when self, spouse, or defendants are sick -16. weeks full paid paternity leave -Class Pass membership for both of us -Unlimited mental health therapy and stress reduction resources for both of us -8% 401K match -Rule of no answering work calls or emails outside of business hours -Great stock options |
Which company is this? |
I took the job close though to high school graduation so that I could use the benefit. So I have a little less than two years to go. Most of my colleagues have used the program for all kids (about half go to the college where we work and the rest go to one of the other schools). |
Most of those benefits are crap. The 8 percent match great and stock options great the rest is garbage. The only benefits I care about are cash and medical |
Agree. The bolded is garbage. |
