Yea, I guess I have been lucky in that for my last ~5 jobs I have had about the same benefits and costs, so I assumed (i.e.: made an 'ass' of 'me'; not so much 'u' though) that most benefits in the Bay Area were pretty standard to what I've experienced. I definitely don't do enough due-dilligence in researching benefits before taking a job, so clearly I've gotten lucky. Thanks for the input here.
