A high salary is great—but it’s not the full picture. When evaluating a job offer, look at the total compensation and working conditions too. Here are key things to check beyond base pay: ✅ Leave policy – How many days? Is sick leave paid? ✅ Health insurance – Is it included? What does it cover? ✅ Career growth – Are there learning budgets, promotions, or mentorship? Sometimes, a slightly lower salary with better benefits = a way better life.

How can I find out if my salary is competitive? Are we just checking on Seek or are there other websites. I browse SEEK's company reviews but my industry is quite niche and there isn't much on NZ salaries there.

What extra benefits does your job give you? If I start a new job, what sort of benefits are reasonable to expect? Stuff like gym memberships or is that not a common one?

Im facing a dilemma - I've been offered a role where the base salary is lower than what I'm getting now but they are offering an impressive list of perks and benefits as a compensation for the lower than market salary. So how should job seekers weigh salary against benefits like health insurance, flexible work arrangements, professional development opportunities, and paid time off? When might a lower salary with better benefits be the smarter choice?
