I may be changing jobs. At first glance it would seem like a no brainer, the new job is nearly a $20k increase in salary, but when you compare the benefits the difference is less than $5k which is not enough to leave a good job.

My current job pays my cell bill (I don't even get the bill) since I'm on call (but only 2 weeks out of every 8), pays my dsl (I expense it every month), has a decent matching/vesting policy for 401k, pays me a couple hundred extra per week when I'm on call, pays a yearly bonus, decent/average medical ins, and pays for a certain amount of college per year.

The new company doesn't yet match on the 401k, will pay some school (don't know the specifics), doesn't pay cell or dsl, costs $680 per month for family medical ins (as opposed to $250), doesn't have a bonus for my position. They just got some new investors who are bailing them out of almost bankruptcy. If I can get another 3500 on top of what I expect them to offer it will just be worth considering.

So, I'm curious what sort of benefits you fellas get out of curiousity.
