Episode 1350:

Craig Stephens delves into the dilemma of choosing between a higher salary and better benefits, drawing from his personal experience of staying with a company for 14 years due to a lucrative salary despite subpar benefits. His story highlights the hidden costs and challenges associated with poor benefits, especially as family needs grow.

Quotes to ponder:

"Speaking to other employers and friends, I realized what a good benefits package looks like and should cost."

"Every year I received a salary increase. But I’ve never received a benefits increase."

"Maybe I maximized my earning potential and should have left long ago. Leaving a position for a better one can be more lucrative."
