How much does pay factor into your consideration when deciding whether or not to accept a job offer? |
Would you put it above commuting distance, working hours and workload? I would absolutely NOT put it above commuting distance, working hours and workload. I say this from experience! Bottom line is this...Lets say you were offered a job for 70,000 per year (which is decent money) thats $5833.00 per month before taxes. Lets say you work 60 hrs per week (240 hrs per month) well divide 5833.00 by 240= roughly, your hourly worth with this company is about $24.00/hr before taxes (taxes makes this much lower). Sounds o.k right? Now factor in how much gas your out on a weekly basis for travel for this company if they don't reimburse you as well as how crabby you are because of the stress and workload. So my figure is your looking at really a pay of about $9-$10 per hour, maybe less. If your o.k with that than good, but I would rather have a job making 40,000 with less hours, less workload and a less stress and be happy. Money doesn't make you happy. I used to work my butt off making over 100K year and the result, I was grumpy, never had time to do anything I wanted to do, seen my family less and when I really thought about it.... I was miserable. This isn't the case for everyone, but learn early to work smarter not harder. Companies will take full advantage of you if you let them. But ultimately you have to make your own decision and find out what your worth is. Hope this helps :) The most important is work atmosphere and the co-worker. Money comes last for me All of the different factors are equal for me. If I love the place I work and get paid decent but have to drive an hour and a half then its not really worth it. Or if its up the street get paid very well but hate going to work every day... still not worth it. You'll need to give more description about the type of job, industry, etc. Money isn't everything, but work is more enjoyable when you feel that you're being fairly rewarded for your efforts. It also depends on your personal situation. A long commute means less time away from friends and family, so that's important to consider. Perhaps you can work out some adjusted work schedule ( such as earlier in the day or later in the morning ) with your employer. Also, your financial situation is important to consider. If you have marketable skills you may have a few job offers to consider, but if you don't have many prospects you may be limited in your options and have to take the job. check this link its good http://workathomedataentryworkss.blogspo... . I used to give it 101 percent. Now, I'm thinking of taking out the 1% and get back to my normal life which is working like a dog. |
