I'm going to hold your hand when I say this

I'm going to hold your hand when I say this but there is a difference between what a salary package and benefits is worth monetarily and what a salary package and benefits is worth to you. One of the absolute best pieces of advice I could give anybody, especially those in their 20s, I'm about to turn 30, I've been in my career for about 10 years now is that you need to understand what benefits have monetary value to you, even if they don't have an intrinsic monetary value. Things like working from home, PTO obviously, things like actual health benefits, having autonomy at work, having a manager that you feel like you connect with, having teammates that you really get along with, or maybe that are in a similar age bracket to you if that's important. All of these things, though they might be more subjective and less monetary, are equally if not more valuable for mental health and wellness and overall success in a job than just the monetary component of the salary package. So consider that next time you're weighing a new offer.
