We covered monetary and non-monetary benefits and the importance of reviewing and comparing them before accepting a job offer. For this discussion, you will be deciding which job is right for you. After reading the job offers, in your initial post, answer the following:

Calculate your out-of-pocket expenses monthly and annually as it pertains to your life. (You’ll need to figure out the cost of gas, childcare if applicable, healthcare/medical premiums)

State the job offer you selected (i.e., Job Offer 2) and explain in detail why the one you chose is more beneficial for your lifestyle.

• List two benefits you would add to the compensation package and justify the reasons as to why they would be beneficial for your lifestyle (Ex: tuition reimbursements, Dental, vision, gym membership, etc.).
