[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No nanny in her right mind chooses a poor compensation package if she's offered a better overall deal elsewhere, unless she's doing a charity situation for whatever reason. She'd get laughed right out of the Jobs and Careers forum on this site.

I can see it now... "I'm a nanny and I have two jobs offers. Job A is in all respects equal to Job B, except that Job A pays a higher wage than Job B. But Job B is enough for me to live comfortably, so I'm leaning towards that one. Am I stupid?"

Where this falls apart is that "compensation package" for most people (certainly not just nannies) includes more than the "wage."  Think PTO, working conditions, other perks, for example.   In addition, other factors besides the compensation package also affect job satisfaction: flexibility, length of commute, # of kids, MB/DB demeanor, duties, affection for the children, etc.  [/quote]

Precisely why I won’t give employees a number during the first interview.  I have a minimum for each position, but I set that after going through my notes after the interview.[/quote]
