Salary is the wrong metric!
For example, I don't want to see a job below 125K but a job is posted at 115K and they subsidize X where X is important to me personally....then that can change everything.
It's obviously a much tougher situation to define all those little things, perhaps they should be valuing the total compensation package and not salary?
There are jobs with certain benefits where either the same or less salary could still be compelling to someone.
- MCRed 12y agoWould you give up $10k a year in salary for a free parking space? What if that space's market value was $289 a month? EG: I'm not sure what's getting subsidized here. If it's worth less than 7k is probably better to take the higher salary and pay for it yourself.
- robalfonso 12y agoFair point, my argument is that rather than saying salary is 100k, they should be saying total compensation is valued at 110k with 100k being salary, parking being valued at 7k and donations to the upper peninsula bird watching society covered by the company to the tune of 3k per year.
