I recently got offered another 100% remote position in a similar line of work to my current job. The difference in base salary is around 20% but the benefits offered (insurance and 401k) are actually a major step down from what I have currently:
New Job: -$95,000/year + 15% bonus. -401k - 62.5% match on first 8% but has a 4 year vesting period on the match. -Insurance- Slightly cheaper than what I have now but no where near as good (higher OOP on the medical, lower coverage on the dental, etc.) as what I have now. -Culture is unknown outside of what was shared in the interviews. -PTO- 16 days of PTO/year.Use it or lose it. -100% Remote.
Current Job (Been here a year and a half): -$78,275/year with an 8% end of year bonus paid in March the following year; and a 3-5% raise coming at my end of year employee evaluation (can vary but based on past end of year evals so just an estimate). -401k- 100% match on the first 6% and 100% vested from day 1. -Insurance- Much better than what is offered at new job. -Culture- Everyone is a pleasure to work with and I’m always told how easy I am to work with and how much value I bring to the team. As long as I get my projects and other assignments done, they don’t care what I do. Really laid back. -PTO- 10 days of vacation time for the first 6 years, then you get 15 days. 5 days of sick time. 9 paid holidays and 1 floating holiday/year that I can use whenever. Unused vacation and sick time roll over from year to year until you accrue 2,080 hours of each. -100% Remote.
That being said, I did not seek out the new job (a recruiter reached out to me out of the blue this week). Should I use the new job offer to ask for a bump in pay at my current job? I love what I do and who I work with and the culture is great. I also happen to know they initially budgeted 120k/year for my position when it was created.
TIA!
