Does Your Employer Offer These 5 Key Benefits?
Getting a job offer is an exciting prospect, but if you're like most people, the first thing on your mind will probably be money. After all, we all want to earn as much as possible. That said, your salary is only a portion of your overall compensation package, and it's just as important to find an employer who's willing to offer good benefits. Here are a few in particular that you'll want to snag.
Tax-advantaged retirement plans make it easy to save for retirement, but not every company offers one. In fact, it's estimated that more than 40% of U.S. employees do not have access to an employer-sponsored 401(k). And while you still have the option to fund an IRA in the absence of a 401(k), you should know that the latter offers a much higher annual contribution limit ($18,000 for workers under 50, versus $5,500 for an IRA), which means you can grow your savings more quickly with a 401(k).
