Sigh.... I guess I should make a sensible post also.....


You can't base your decision on just a 6 figure salary.

You need to factor in benifits and perks.

Some of the perks in my job are company cars. I have a $55,000 company car sitting in my driveway. Every 4-5 weeks I get a new car. It can range from a lowly 2008 C300 which is $35,000 to a 2008 CL550 which is $120,000+

In the past month I've had:
2007 E350
2007 GL450
2007 CLS550
2007 SL550
Just turned in the wife's 2007 SLK280

I've leased:
2003 C230
2006 E350
2007 E350
2007 SLK280

Then benifits.... they are damn good

401K - really good

Incredible lease/ purchase prices on mercedes-benz cars and trucks

Employee discounts on chrysler, jeep and dodge vehicles

Got a huge discount on the following:
2004 dodge neon
2003 jeep liberty
2007 chrysler sebring vert

Accessories discounts

Service discounts

I've been sent to race 500 HP Mercedes amg's at race tracks

I've gotten my hands on 1/2 million dollar cars (SLR and Maybach)

Getting back stage access to the jacob javits auto show.... working the auto show.... and going in before it is open to the public (press day)

My list can go on and on......


Don't focus just on a salary..... there can be many other perks for your job that outweigh the $$$$
