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.

Honestly I wish I knew this 10 years ago. I took high paying jobs, chasing salary and ended up in some toxic places.
Then I found a place that sounded like things mattered. The people, the work. Other perks like WFH and flexible hours, so I took a chance. And it was the best place I'd ever worked.
You need to get paid enough, but there's so much more that matters sometimes
