Episode Description
Do you know what total compensation is? Most people think they understand how much a job pays, but they’re only looking at the base salary — not the full compensation package.
In this episode, I’ll explain what total compensation actually is and how it differs from base salary, so you understand why focusing on base pay alone can be misleading. That way you’ll know how to calculate total compensation accurately in your current role or your next job offer.
