Hi all, if you read my earlier post, I've been waiting for a salary offer on a new job.
They sent their "package" over to me today (shuddup @goldenarms lol) and I was impressed!
Salary wise, they are offering a very good increase, with bonuses.
About another $650 per year in savings in benefits, cell phone reimbursement etc.
The shorter drive alone will save me an additional $3,000 per year in gas, oil, tires, and maintenance!
But then, hidden in plain sight was the kicker. They are also offering a generous car allowance on a new car! They pay the new car payment. That's huge.
After I worked up the monthly savings, as well as the pay, bonus, and vehicle....it looks like about a $13,000 increase per year, to cut my daily drive time in half, spend more time with the family, and learn some new skills.
There are a few smaller details that I still need to get ironed out tomorrow, but after talking with Mrs @jbcoin I'm thinking that I should accept the offer and start planning for a job a little closer to home!
Thanks for reading! Please upvote, Resteem, and wish me luck in this new field!
I appreciate all the supportive comments last week. Exciting times.
Man that's awesome! I'm really happy for you buddy. This sounds like a terrific opportunity. Congrats!

Thanks @fat-elvis. I'm hoping that it all works out. If so, that frees up my current car for my 15 year old daughter who is just itching to learn to crash something 😕

Thank you @silverd510. I wasn't expecting a company car allowance. They know how important saving on the commute is for me though.

This is just a stock photo, I can pick any model they make, as long as it's new 😁

I am a (retired) pension/actuary guy. What about the pension? A good pension costs 20% of the annual pay.

It's still within my same corporation, so it's the same as what I have now @goldrooster.
We have a 401k that's fully vested on day one, and they match 100% contributions, on first 3%.
We had a pension years ago, but like everyone else, they bought it out, and replaced it with a 401k.

Congratulations @jbcoin, your an open book, but looks like a healthy offer, positive interaction with your hiring manager, and all the bene's noted. Your the MAN, good luck in the new adventure, there is no way to turn this one down, get ready with the two week notice, thanks but a counter offer will not be honored.
