What would you consider to be good medical coverage? For example, we're all on Kaiser Permanente, which believe it or not has been excellent for the past sixteen years, but it costs us about $727 per month (plus $25 co-pay) between David's policy and the family plan for me, Lisa, and the kids. And you know this is just going to go up again big time next year.
Continuing from my previous post, how does qualifying for coverage figure into hiring? What if a potential employee is turned down for coverage? How do companies handle that, typically?

Good medical coverage. I quote nearly double for any position I have been recruited for that does not include good medical coverage. I've experience first hand this countries problem with the cost of health care and lack of good universal medical coverage. The next important one for me would be retirement investing. There are a lot of options for this, but I would definitely consider a company that matches retirement contributions in some way over one that does not - most other factors being equivalent. Next on my list would be education incentives | reimbursements. With the ever changing landscape of our industry, a company that helps me learn and stay on top of the technologies is one that I would feel is investing in me. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
