Is salary the most important consideration when choosing a job? originally appeared on Quora: the
knowledge sharing network where compelling questions are answered by people with unique insights.
Compensation is important, it says a lot about the job and the company. Employers that pay well are likely
going to value their employees’ time more than those that don’t.
Salary is only one part of compensation. For some positions it’s not even the largest component. For instance,
senior positions at big tech companies often have an equity component that equals or exceeds the salary
component. Equity can be tricky to understand (a $200k equity package might sound like a lot but if it vests
over five years that’s $40k annually). Moreover, because of price fluctuations, it’s not always clear how it will
affect one’s overall financial situation.
Commissions and bonuses should also be figured into total compensation. As with equity, these figures can
be tough to predict. I’ve known a few recruiters who like to focus on the high end of the upside rather than
median values. While it may be possible to get $100k+ in bonuses at Google, the typical developer gets a
much more modest 15% of their base salary.
Salary Is Important, But Here Are 5 Other Things You Shouldn't Ignore As A Job Seeker
Benefits can also play a significant role in the larger financial picture. Google’s free breakfast, lunch, and dinner can add up to over $10k
of after-tax dollars a year. 401k matching can be another significant advantage. For Google the match is 50%, so for those that max out
their contributions, the benefit comes to an extra $9k a year. Benefits can also be tricky to evaluate. Some benefits are valued differently
by different employees. When I was in my 20’s I didn’t think health insurance was particularly important. Now that I have a daughter
I’m much more concerned about it. Plus, our combined healthcare costs are higher than when I was single. Some benefits have intrinsic
value. It’s hard to put a monetary value on the ability to do one’s laundry at work or to take a nap in a nap pod.
Location, at least for some, is just as important as compensation. Not many would be willing to tack on an extra hour or two to their
commute. And while some may consider moving to a different area for a better job, there are many who are tied to a particular location
due to family or other obligations.
Related to location are the amount of travel involved and the ability to work from home. Some people love not having to put on pants
to go to work. Conversely, who wants to spend half their life in airports?
Hours and schedule flexibility can also be important factors. Time-shifting to accommodate a long commute, or being able to leave
early to pick up the kids can make a big difference in accommodating other aspects of a person’s life. Also, whether a job expects 40
hours or 60 hours a week can have a substantial impact on quality of life.
Company size and stability are also considerations. Working for a startup comes with the risk that the employee will have to look for
another job in a year or two. Large corporations tend to offer more stability but they come with administrative and organizational
challenges that can detract from the primary work.
Other factors like corporate culture, knowing other people at the company, or wanting to work with particular individuals in a field may
also play a role.

THE HIGH COST OF LOW SALARIES: WHY PAYING A COMPETITIVE SALARY IS IMPORTANT
Wages may be classed as an operating expense, but like any good investment, strong staff salaries can deliver
healthy returns.
Your business may have a great product or service but the true strength of the firm lies with your people – and
top talent deserves to be well remunerated.
Salary levels are still a crucial element when it comes to attracting and retaining the best people.
Quite simply, companies that do not offer competitive pay packets can put themselves out of contention when it
comes to sourcing top talent.
The hidden cost of paying less
In the skilled and professional jobs arena, an employee’s departure can often cost their company more than
double their annual salary, without taking into account the intangible cost of lost productivity. Other sunk costs
associated with losing an employee include the expense of hiring and training a replacement, or having to spend
resources for onboarding programs.
These are financial repercussions that companies can avoid simply by instituting a competitive salary policy. A
high turnover rate also reflects poorly on a company, impacting the collective knowledge base, and
damaging staff morale. Let’s take a look at three ways that a smart salary policy towards paying a competitive
salary can support your business.
1. A competitive salary shows you care
Let’s approach the issue at a positive angle – a competitive salary package incentivises employees to do their best for the organisation, promoting employee
engagement and encourages loyalty. Having proper salary policies in place is a tangible way for a company to show its commitment in taking care of their
people, and this is likely to be reciprocated if and when the business finds itself in tough times. A carefully constructed salary policy shows you are committed to
your team, and this in itself can be a tremendous incentive for staff.
Your concern for the wellbeing of your employees filters through to office morale and productivity, and will hopefully be reciprocated if the business finds itself
facing tough times.
2. Low salaries are false economy
Successful employee retention should always be a core business goal. Higher remuneration however is still a key reason for leaving a job. In order to attract and
keep top talent on the payroll, proactive companies should adjust their remuneration policies to ensure their offers match or exceed averages in their location and
industry. When employees leave your company the impact on your organisation can be significant. Project timelines may suffer – costing the company additional
time and resources to resolve. Re-staffing comes with an additional cost burden. Because the recruitment process takes many resources like developing and
publishing a job ad, time for screening applications, invitations to interviews, rejection letters, time spent for the interview, onboarding and training costs etc., the
financial resources can easily escalate if companies need to find a new hire. As well, not having the right person on board may mean the company isn’t able to
reach its growth targets. The specific consequences of a bad hire however are not limited to an additional expense for recruiting again. It can also affect office
morale. These financial repercussions can be avoided simply by developing a competitive salary policy.
3. See your people as an asset – not an expense
It can help to view your employees as appreciating assets of the business. Sure, you’ll outlay costs initially but over time your team will bring knowledge,
experience and loyalty to their acumen – qualities that will add value to your firm. The challenge for business leaders is to stay up to speed with current
salaries,so do some research such as using an industry benchmark or Salary Guide.
Top talent are frequently courted and poached by hiring managers and head-hunters – a process made easier these days with professional job networks such as
LinkedIn. Even if your top people love what they do, they may have no qualms flitting off to the next best offer if they aren’t being rewarded with a competitive
salary.
Whenever key appointment-holders leave an organisation, project timelines tend to suffer, costing the company additional time and resources to resolve.
Take advantage of paying a competitive salary
As the employment market is constantly in flux, hiring managers should constantly evaluate and adjust compensation policies in order to be seen as a desirable
firm to work for – one that pays competitive salaries.
A good perspective is to see employees as an appreciating asset. Sure, they may start off as a cost to the company, but satisfied employees who enjoy what they
do become more valuable over time as they accrue new skills, knowledge and experience.
