Everyone says to weigh the whole offer package, but I’m struggling to figure out how benefits like healthcare and flexible hours stack up against a higher salary.

Everyone says to weigh the whole offer package, but I’m struggling to figure out how benefits like healthcare and flexible hours stack up against a higher salary. I have no idea what good insurance coverage looks like or how to value these perks. How do you evaluate these things and make a decision? Should I be grateful to have lots of benefits, despite lower than market salary offer?

If you have a few offers, figure out if a lower salary offer but better benefits would actually be more favourable for your life stage and financial situation (e.g many dependent family members). If you will very unlikely use any of the benefits, then higher salary offers could have more weightage to your decision
