I received two options for the offer.
One is salary based ($135K, 10 days’ vacation, 5 days’ sick, 2 days’ personal and 7 days’ holiday plus medical, dental and vision, the company will pay 10% of the premium), the restriction is that I can’t take those vacation, sick or personal until I earned, if I take before that, I will not get paid and they will not pay back later even after I earned, so $135K is the maximum I can earn, I will not earn that much if I need to take some time off before I earned.
The other is hourly based, $71 per billable hour, nothing else. I can earn a little bit more with this option, but I have to shop for insurance myself, most likely need to pay a higher premium due to lack of group rate. I would appreciate if someone can offer some advice/recommendation on shopping for medical, dental and vision insurance.
Which one I should take? Thanks in advance for any feedback!
