Terms of the Offer

Once you know the job is the right opportunity for you, it is time to consider all the terms of your job offer including salary and benefits. First, do a budget and determine your minimum salary figure, taking into account your taxes and expenses. Second, make a list of your desired benefits. Benefits, stock options and other forms of compensation can be worth another 25% to 50% of your salary, so it’s important to get the details on vacation and sick leave, health insurance, the retirement plan, and other benefits from your future employer.
