Life is all about choices. The more informed you are about a subject matter, the better a decision you'll make. The same thing can be said about job offers.

In EM job offers, the "hourly rate" is the benchmark for comparisons. When stripped down, like in the case of 1099 income, the hourly rate is a very clean and valuable metric. It's when the rate is tampered with, like in the case of W-2 positions adding in benefits and contingencies to arrive at a more appealing visual hourly rate number, that things get… tricky. In this episode, we'll look at a specific job offer that a few clients have sent us and provide general guidance on things to look out for when considering taking your next job opportunity.
