What are the Benefits? What You Need to Know Before You Begin that New Job
Thursday, January 23, 1:00-2:00pm, 4-149
What’s a 401k and does a match matter? What should you be looking for in healthcare costs, and what about life insurance, short term disability and dental for those pesky teeth? Can you negotiate vacation or other benefits?

When receiving a job offer, everyone thinks about the salary and maybe the signing bonus…but, what about all the other aspects of an offer? What benefits and other considerations should you be investigating, and what questions do you have about all the small print? Laura Doyle, Senior Manager of Compensation and Benefits, and Amy McNair, Campus Relationship Manager, both from Philips North America, will answer your questions. This workshop is open to undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs and alumni.  Advanced registration requested via CareerBridge: https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student
