Common questions
How do I know if a job offer is good?
Compare your real hourly rate (salary divided by total hours including commute), not just the headline salary. A job paying $10k more but requiring 15 extra hours a week might actually pay less per hour. Factor in commute costs, benefits, job security, and growth potential for a complete picture.
Is a 20% salary increase worth switching jobs?
It depends on hours expected, commute change, and benefits. A 20% raise that comes with 10 more hours per week and worse benefits might not be worth it. Use this tool to calculate your real hourly rate and net annual gain after tax and commute costs.
What is a real hourly rate?
Your salary divided by total hours you spend working, including commute time, multiplied by weeks worked per year. A $80k salary sounds great until you factor in 55-hour weeks and a 90-minute daily commute — your real rate might be under $25/hr.
