Answer 2

Most candidates think of compensation as salary. In reality, it takes many forms. Look at all aspects of a package in order to understand your true economic benefit. If the prospective organization has rigid guidelines you may need to help them allocate compensation into different buckets to meet your needs and theirs. Compensation packages vary with three factors:

1. Type of position
2. Type of organization
3. Your own qualifications

Compensation is not the cut-and-dry subject it used to be. Once you had to worry only about a base salary or at most, a base salary and commission. Today you need to think in terms of compensation packages - including salaries, stock options, employee stock ownership plans, pay-for-performance plans, bonuses, profit sharing, commissions, noncash rewards, variable pay, and much more. Cash is the most important part of the compensation package. Standard cash compensation packages are usually comprised of a base salary and bonus. Generally, as you progress to more senior the positions you will have more compensation in the bonus. Bonus compensation is linked to performance. And you have the ability to increase compensation dramatically by meeting your goals.

When it comes to the fundamentals the benefits that prove the most effective in hiring and retaining good workers cut across all industries. Good healthcare insurance, a competitive salary, and generous vacation, flexible work schedules, and holiday benefits tend to convince workers to sign on with a company and to stay. When you think benefits, think bare-bones basics like a retirement plan, as well as health, dental, disability, and life insurance. Goodies like country club memberships and a company car may not be handed over as readily as in years past. The perks have gone bye-bye to some degree. But sometimes they're offered later.

Answer 4

Being able to meet and enjoy the people I work with.

I've had jobs that made money, and many that made none (all that money is spent anyway), but I still have memories of interesting people that I've met and how we worked together and how much fun it was, even though we weren't aware of it at the time.
It's not the money or the prestige; it's the quality of the relationships you have with people that counts.
