On Making What You’re Worth

How much should I be making? Good question, as long as it’s asked along with several others. What are others in similar jobs making? Can this company compete at that level? What do I need to support myself? Am I living beyond my means? Am I in the right job or field considering what I’d like to be making? Have I figured what my benefits are worth in dollars? Can I put a value on the work environment compared to other companies? Do I have educational or experiential opportunities here that may be worth my accepting a lower salary? Repeat this: Starting with me, salary and benefits will be viewed from a broad perspective, meeting both my short and long term needs and those of my employer.
