- Are you stuck trying to decide between two job offers? What if we told you there is more to consider than just which one pays more. There are many factors that go into selecting a job that works for you. From vacation days to benefits, you have to weigh the pros and cons of each job before making your decision. We hope this video helps you when you're offered your next job!
you also gotta take into account thw cost of living in the areas of companies a and b, more income doesn't mean more disposable income.
Good point, but if you're considering relocating for the job, that makes the whole thing much more complicated than anything you could fit into a short.
- distance to family/support network?
- taxes?
- social considerations (nightlife, clubs, church, etc)
- community perks
Nobody said she's moving closer... who just has the money to move house for a job? Damn
You should not be relocating for a $40k salary
@@gummy5862ehhhh depends, if that 40k salary also has included housing, potentially. I’ve worked jobs that had certain benefits like housing and transportation included. I would recommend that if that’s included, have very clear set standards in the contract on what that entails. For example, what does a furnished apartment mean? I was given an apartment without a couch and just dealt with it despite being told it was supposed to be furnished (I could have asked I was just nervous and it was my first big job). What does transportation entail? Is it a paid bus/train pass, Uber, Gas allowance, etc? There are jobs that include meals and childcare, what do those look like? If you are sick, are you still entitled to company childcare? (Because let’s be real, having childcare when you’re sick is a lifesaver particularly if you’re a single parent and just need a bit of time to recover).
So yeah no, consider total compensation before writing it off. If the company is paying major expenses for you, 40k might actually end up functionally feeling like 60k because you’re not having to pay rent or have free childcare or amazing health insurance when you need that health insurance
@@gummy5862 atm it looks like my choices are relocating for 40k or staying where I am for 25-30k
"vibe" is extremely important. You are spending the majority of your time with these people, so it should be enjoyable.
Vibe is important because those people are the one you're going to spend time with
Vibe is important however many jobs will change the vibe after you have finished orientation. I unfortunately was completely lied to by the interviewer who turned out to be the district manager to the point that the location I was working at even changed away before I was to actually begin. Unfortunately, I was trapped there for several months while looking for a different job, but I did make to get out before my probation period was up.
It is. Salary can increase over time or you can negotiate it every now and then (in most cases), but the vibe is non-negotiable
Good use of paraphrasing
Commute is also a huge thing
Exactly
It's take my 2 hours to get to school every day (4 hours Total daily) if I got a job offer that was that far way I wouldn't do it
Vrry true
It's the difference between making $100 a day, and making $120 a day minus $10 in gas, $10 wear and tear, the extra hours you put into driving, and using more PTO for errands
YES I’m dying waking up earlier to drive about 50 minutes to work every day (yes, one way!)
Fr
How does B pay more if it’s a start up…oh, nevermind
if oh never mind then why comment?
Because people are more likely to find and want to work at a more prominent company than some small company. Also the bigger company pays similar, but company A pays in things like dental and other benefits while company B just pays a little more in actual money.

@@jamesrosewell9081you don’t have to have a solution to recognize that a system isn’t the best
In New Zealand, every company is obligated to take a percentage of your earnings, double it, and then put that into your Kiwisaver account for your retirement or first house
Yeah we call it provident fund in India. But some companies are just the worse and while quoting salary they add both my contribution and their as a part of the CTC.

it's actuallly called Kiwisaver? I feel like you're messing with me but sounds so legit

@@eehlohluell3k extra a year is 250 a month
which is 62 a week extra. id rather take the 62$ a week because its free money. or it could be 9$ extra a day which is amazing. thats like 5 extra sandwiches everyday. b is totally worth it-
There's also promotions to think about! Don't just look at what the current hourly pay is, but also look at how much more you'd get if you plan to stay long-term. If there's no future with the job, then you can always stay for experience and some standard pay before looking elsewhere.
True to this. Some companies offer high pay when you sign the contract, but no raise after a long time in a stagnant position, and there some that give lower offer but gives regular raise and career growth.
nowadays the optimal strategy for most people and most jobs is to leave every 3 - 4 years ans go to a new company, staying at a company is very risky
off topic, but i couldnt help but notice the "mercedes" on the fridge, so cool

Me, watching this even though I want to be a teacher and will have the exact same benefits no matter where I go:
Don't worry, I'll be fine ;-;

@@mariammosaabhusseinmohamed2630that's just what they want to do, their dream. they probably have already thought about it and know the many inconveniences, and you're in no place to unmotivate them from going towards what they love. (sorry if I was rude but it's just truly what I think)
I still wouldn't pick company A if it paid under 15$ an hour. Cost of living is a real thing. I need shelter NOW I don't need dental now. It's sad that's what it's come to but that is the reality we face right now. We have diabetic elderly people deciding if they should pay their bills or get their insulin this month because they can't afford both.
Most places that give benefits like dental at all pay over $15 and hour. It’s only things like fast food and retail that pays under that, and now most of those jobs pay over $15 (if you live in a big city)
i googled it and it says it would probably be $19.71 an hour
41k is about 19.71, 44k is about 21.15
Where I live you can buy a house on 15 an hour comfortably so...
Ok but the difference between jobs was 3k which is a lot but not that much in the grand scheme and better PTO options means the availability to take off when needed but not be lousing money. And the company covering phone and laptop likely covers the 3k difference in itself.
You can't just look at the money going into your bank account you have to factor in what will be coming out because of the job.
There’s more: in office vs home office? If both are in person, which is farther? Does the potential additional due to the commute maybe outweigh the salary difference? Is one maybe even offering some kind of benefits where you could get your cost for your commute paid?
And yeah… most people don’t quit jobs, they quit managers so vibe is VERY important!
Yeah, if a company pays more but has worse benefits, theres a decent chance youre gonna end up spending more than the extra money on what you wouldve gotten free otherwise
I actually had to do this when picking my first teaching job! I ended up going with the school that paid me less because it offered a better community, and better support for me as a first year teacher. And honestly, the vibes actually made a huge impact in my decision! So vibes do make a difference.
This is some helpful info that I definitely want to share with my professional development instructor at my university.
While I have worked on games in my field already, throughout my process of getting my bachelor's degree- I feel like I've learned so much from both my prodev courses and videos like these online.
So uh, thanks! I know a lot more now than I did yesterday about comparing companies wages and benefits before deciding which is a better fit for me! Useful insight to have, seeing how tumultuous the creative media industries are at the moment.
I chose the company with way too little salary for the first 12 months, over one with a normal salary in the first year with way off vibes. I loved the job and was able to afford it and after a year I got a normal salary for the job, and a year later got a promotion and now have hopped to an even more fun and more money job 😊
Since in germany the paid time off and the health benefits and retirement disposals are all the same across the board, I picked based solely on salary XD
Even if company B pays more now, things could change in the future. Promotions and stuff will lead to higher salary.
Gotta think about which at which company the work sounds more interesting too
Vibe is huge, you NEED to be able to enjoy aspects of your job and I find that being able to learn from it helps stay engaged and focused on your job, the more you like it the better you’ll do obviously
When she just takes her whiteboard at the end 😂
Where I live holiday and health will be basically the same everywhere.
Some companies might have holiday increase after few years. I know some offer basically 10 more weeks after like 20 years. While other would cap out at 5 extra holiday days
Vibes count double. And don't forget the commuting time.
I love the list comparing, but personally I break it down a bit more giving a value to as much as possible. For example, how much vacation is valued based on my salary at each and then add that into the toral compensation. Then you can go back to one of the companies to negotiate if you have a preference based on vibe. My last job couldn't offer me more vacation or retirement match but they did increase my salary by 12k and allowed me to take unpaid time off. This helped to compemsate for both my concerns.
And this is why you live in Europe, where medical, dental, vision and unemployment and retirement insurance is always there, no matter the company, and you have a minimum of 20 vacation days a year + public holidays, with the minimum in my country being 28, and my company actually offering 36 vacation days a year.
im so hopeful this startup i applied for will get back to me. its literally this but in the US 🥲
But I'd have next to no rights in Europe so no thank you. You've already let the woke psychos rewrite your cultures nearly across the board
@@hanamachii_ the vacation days are paid at least in Germany
...Let's not even get into why you SHOULDN'T live in Europe.
@@nala7829why?
I’m the same way with my job. I work part time with weekly pay and yeah the paycheck isn’t the highest but everyone I work with is so nice and friendly 😊
In the UK we don’t have to worry about pension savings, healthcare or payed time off. The state provides healthcare and a state pension and the employer is also required to pay into a workplace pension by law, we are also required to get 28 days of paid holiday per year or equivalent if working part time (if you only work 2 and a half days you should only get 14 days holiday- that sort of thing).
We of course do have to decide between things like salary, vibe, company provided laptop or even car… but those basic things I mentioned above are covered by law.
I mean, a startup that pays 44k is a little bit, dodgy. What’s the work situation like, what’s the hours like, how well will they treat you? I’m just saying, just from “startup” that pays 44k, I’m picking A.
In Australia, that retirement fund is called Superannuation. It's been illegal not to have one since 1980. It automatically gets set up for you either by your first employer or the government when you start working.
The money is paid into the account as apart of your salary. Some companies add it separately, other companies may take a small portion of your overall income to cover it.
You won't be able to access it until you either register for retirement, reach a certain age, or submit a request for acess in an emergency situation.
Not only that, but you need to compare the prices of each health insurance plan. Mine is only $90 per month for a really good PPO plan and the deductible is $500. I know people who make twice what I do, but the health insurance their company offers is like $1,000 a month
Typically start ups that are in a position to hire HAVE to have competitive salaries as they don’t have the reputation or history to vouch for them. It’s to entice people to join them.
Yes but as we saw the SALARY was higher but they weren't spending more or the same on the other aspects of total compensation. Which is how start ups can still fuck over employees by making them have to pay for their laptop and phone when they're necessary work equipment
@@NyxHunterbut they also give stock options to most employees unlike bigger companies which can have huge upside
This video was so well made I literally thought it was a shorts ad 😂.
Also don’t be afraid to ask for a higher starting! Let the company know another company is showing interest in hiring you and what their offer is. Let them know it might not be a dealbreaker but you want to throw it out there and see if they can do anything to match the other offers salary or offer a sign on bonus. Even if they can’t do it, asking shows negotiation and communication skills and I’ve never had a company begrudge me simply for asking :)
I remember my boss trying to explain to one of our staff that yes, the staffer's friend at a different facility did indeed get time-and-a-half for anything over 8 hours... but the other company did not have the paid sick days, paid holidays, or subsidized life insurance, health insurance, dental insurance, and an optical plan like we did for just a couple of thousand dollars less a year in average salary earned.
This is how I decided to switch jobs recently. They both pay the same and I obviously had more tenure in my old company but one is work in office and the other one is wfh so in reality I'm earning a lot more money in my new company since I don't have to pay nor waste my time in commute. Effectively saving me about 1.5k usd every month and anywhere between 40 to 80 hours of my time per month since I don't have to wake up early, nor prepare food to take with me nor actually get to the office.
Omg Mr. Mercedes in the BG i love that
True inhad to decided between two jobs. One paid way better by leeps and bounds and was a night shift thay didnt deal with traffic. However the educational benefit of the other job, willing to cover 80%, made the second job much more appealing.
3 month probation not too bad. My job demands 2 years of probation and it ended yesterday.🎉
I always look at holiday days. That’s the only thing that matters to me because I like to spontaneously go on holiday or just disappear.
The only thing I dislike about this model is that it weights all categories equally. Definitely helps think in the right direction though!
Also, remember how much you enjoy the job. If you don’t like the job, what’s the point in doing it. You’re just going to have an awful time all your life trying to make money.❤
Choose both :)
Vibes over pay, to a point. If 44k makes you feel guilty before you even sit in the office for having prior commitments but 41k you spent half your interview talking hobbies and feeling at ease, you can spend $50 a week to enjoy work (3000/year, 2400 after taxes, 200/mo, 50/wk)
The MeRcAdEs sigh on the fridge😂😂😂😊
This is called TR or total rewards. Basically its all the benefits including pay added up. You want to try and tie a dollar value vs a point system
Also: ask Company A if they can match the offer from Company B. There is often wiggle room for salaried positions.
Good point ✅
Not me thinking “oh we have the same shirt”
You can also negotiate a higher salary with company A, might be able to get it close to, if not matching, company B's salary.
All important factors. I left a company with great benefits to pursue a job that better fit my career path. Turned out that company was complete garbage despite paying 25/hr. Few months later I turn to a new job that paid 21 which was 3 more than my first job. While the benefits weren't as good, the job is career relevant, the pay is better, and I am actually treated well where the other job stressed me to the point of drinking at the end of every work week.
Pay isn't everything folks!
If I was in that situation I’d probably tell Company A about the other job offer and try to negotiate my salary to the same as Company B is offering
That's what i said! Even if they won't match company B's offer, you could probably meet somewhere in the middle.
normal people by sally !!
If Facs taught me anything it’s that your job should always match your interests, that way you will likely stay with the company longer and not get burnt out.
That moment where you hear a Canadian term and have to check the channel's location

Step1: get multiple offer letter during recession 😂😂
I wish I had the problem of choosing between job offers...or even getting one...
That’s called the Ben Franklin close in sales. Highly effective for transactional sales
You can use the pay at company B to negotiate a higher pay for company A too
Call both saying you’ve got another offer
Thank you for my future😊
I feel like doing a little vibe check at your job interview could be very important.
I also do that, but usually asign a weight to each
Im struggling on even getting one job offer let alone 2
Still wouldn’t pick A if didn’t pay enough, if B has a really good pay then it’s the best imo
3k difference, meh, losing 3k is worth it for how much better A is
@@B_H_J as someone with actual money stuggles, that’s just your opinion lol
Don’t say it as fact.
@@snegluf I live in a womens shelter and they have to buy food for me, and I sleep with the same sheets and bed stuff I have had since I was a kid since I can't afford more, I also have money struggles, but those benefits (imo) are worth it
@@sneglufidk because I’ve always been told do what you love (ie the job you want more) and you will never work a minute in your life. Do the job you hate and you will suffer for the rest of your life
You're not losing money by taking company A... That's literally the whole point of this video, company A actually pays more when factoring benefits and pension contributions, if it has an atmosphere you prefer then that's even better and if it's closer or in a less expensive area if you're relocating that's even better as well.
Tbh I think job c is the best. You don’t have to work.
Let me guess you’re a communist
If she was my friend she would do exactly the opposite of what we discussed so company B for her.
Go to Company A and see if they'll match Company B's offer.
41 and 44k are also only $1.50 apart, for those wondering on the real difference. $20.50 and $22 an hour, respectively
Merry Christmas
I love squirrels😊
It is the obligation of companies in my country to pay for the retirement fund and something like workers' health insurance. And it's not connected to the company, so even if you're fired, those two things, especially the retirement fund still continues.
VIBE COUNTS vibe means more than the money bc if you hate your job the money isn’t worth it
I'll still go to the one that pays more 😂
i did the same 😭 im very happy in my job
Companies out here trying to convince us not to search for high-paying jobs…
Yeah, we read that in Class X Economics in India
For the record being a startup can be a reason to go to or stay away from a company. If a sartup has good vibes and you have the option to get in on the ground floor it could be way better for your career long-term. It could also implode in your face if it fails. It's riskier but has an opportunity for greater reward in the end. Mostly because in a startup you're likely going to have way more opportunity for upward mobility and creativity because there's no established pecking order yet.
Especially if they have some sort of stock investment plan. Like if you can get shares on a startup and help build it to a successful company and it actually takes off, you're going to be way more prosperous than an established company working a regular 9-5. But there's no guarantee that's what will happen.
But it's definitely worth keeping in mind if you're debating between two job offers.
Bold of me to assume I'll get two
Better time off options doesn't mean anything if they don't let you use them
They are only 3k apart, use B to negotiate with A to match or exceed Bs offer
I need to pay bills more than I need to vacation or like my employer. I need money and if that means not going to the doctor or on vacation that's what I have to do. I don't have an option to take a pay cut. This is the reality for a lot of people and there is nothing we can do about it until the system changes.
Well you also need to get to meet your coworkers to see which ones are nicer, you may be satisfied in the job or not depending on that.
The main reason you have a job is for money so salary is a pretty important thing, not saying B is better but still
I paid 30€ for 2 shoulder operations (20 in one 10 for other) and all i was paying for was the sling that was keeping my arms in place so it can heal rest was completely free 😂😅
Also which job you like better and how long the work days are
did anyone else notice how it said mercedes on the fridge and the stephen kind book?..
👀
I'm amazed that travel expenses are never brought up in these. It's A LOT, both in time and money (you pay after taxes).
Good point 🤔
Then you use company B’s pay rate to negotiate yours and you are set
I would do part-time at company b and go full time with a
Meanwhile in Europe: oh my company gives 5 weeks paid leave like government jobs do not the standard 4 that's cool.
Long maternal leave, 3 year parental leave, natinalized healthcare, unlimited sick days, need I continue
I wish I even had the luxury to compare
*thanks I will choose b*
If "vibe" is referring to "company culture" or "being like a family" as an advertisement, that's a red flag.
Nah, I'm pretty sure it's about whether the employees look miserable or tired, or if they look like they don't mind being there.
That’s the vibe
She really hustled you out of your whiteboard
guess she really needed it 😅
If company b is startup and it might work or grow keep in mind u might to get to climb the ladder faster
also could negotiate a better salary for company A
As an Asian I was tempted to choose the company B cause it has higher pay, but you know we hate
"B" so i choose company A
From a third world country here!
Always love seeing these videos and seeing the comparison from here were our minimum wage is technically $1 an hour and in corporate jobs from Companies that are American or European based dont offer anything close to those salaries or benefits here.
Why tf would she take the white board 😂😂
Where did you get that board ? I need it 😮
You should have done a greater difference in pay. 41 and 44 is not that much of a difference.
I recently got two job offers. One for 58k and the other for 60k. I ended up going to the first spot because they increased my offer to 78k and let me work from home.
Nope, here's how you actually choose, highest paying job offer you got, take it and no matter what find time to skill yourself up and have a minimalist lifestyle, cheap apartment, and make your own, food survival style, luxuries you need is sleep, till 1 year mark save up money and start looking for job opportunities at 6 month mark, and expand your network and try for better opportunities, get a few more offers for better pay and switch at about 1 to 1.5 year mark and do the same for next till the pay is substantial enough to get all your essentials covered with more than 50% to save and learn and create a business model and try different things and study and research before trying and when you find your specialization and area of excellence create a business based on it, and you can get create something with 5 years time, and if it pays well enough and is sustainable go for full time.
