How to calculate the true value of your OVERALL compensation package. First lets breakdown the different components of a compensation package.

Some definitions, some quick maths, and some truths.

A Thread/
Salary/Hourly rate: The guaranteed pay you're entitled to as long as you're employed. Probably the most important aspect of your comp package.

Medical benefits coverage: your employer, through an insurance company agrees to cover some or all fees regarding your health/dental.
Paid leave: Days off you can take without losing a day's pay. This includes vacation, sick, PTO, holiday, personal, bereavement, military pay, jury duty, etc.

Disability Insurance: a form of insurance that insures that if you're unable to work, you'll still earn an income.
Life Insurance: Basic life insurance that is intended to provide your people with some money in the event of your death.

Employee assistance program: Assists employees with personal problems that may impact their performance, mental & emotional wellbeing.
Retirement benefits: Defined contribution plans towards your retirement in which the employer, employee, or both make contributions on a regular basis.

Bonuses include Relocation fees, sign-on bonuses, education, and career advancement plans.
I found this on Reddit and thought to share-

"Calculating your total compensation is easy:

Take your base salary and write it down, jot down any company match that you get for a 401k/RRSP. (% times base salary)

Take your base salary and divide by 12 then divide again by 20.
Then multiply this number by how many vacation days you get per year and how many pod holidays the company gives off per year.

Write down any monetary “perks” that your job provides (company car, company has, parking pass, etc.)

Add all of these numbers up.
Add up any monthly premiums you have for health, vision, dental care. Times this number by 12.

Subtract this number from the number you got in step 5. You now have a number of what the “total compensation” for your job is. Use this number when comparing job offers."
You can also use tools like @Fidelity 's Job offer calculator which I LOVE because you can compare two different offers and get a mathematical answer as to which is better.

The only downside it's pretty US-focused.
Finally, always know what your market is paying for people in your position. I made a salary guide for Tech professionals that gives that kind of insight.

It's a free download:

Several different ways to flip the script on Recruiters when they ask you “What’s the salary you’re targeting” so you dont low ball yourself in an interview
“Happy to have that conversation, can you share what the role is budgeted for?”
“I’m more focused on finding the right fit and opportunity. I’m confident we can land on a number that reflects the value I bring.”

Here’s the blueprint I walk my clients through when they want to start landing consistent interviews — two to three a month — without wasting time on hope-based strategies.

We start by picking three job titles that actually make sense for their current skills and work history. Then we build three versions of their resume, one for each role
No rewriting the resume for every application. No running prompts through ChatGPT hoping for the best. They only apply to jobs that check their four boxes: salary, title, job type, and location. If a posting doesn’t hit all four, they move on.

From there, we treat it like a sales process.
Find jobs early.
Most people are applying too late. If a job’s been live for over a week, the first round of interviews is probably already booked.

To find fresh listings, I show them how to search company career pages directly through Google:

Prepare for Common Interview Questions: Questions like "Tell me about yourself," "Where do you see yourself in five years?" and "What's your biggest weakness?" are commonly asked. Prepare for them.

A thread on how to answer them.
"Tell me about yourself"

Think of answering this as "Why are you here" and keep it professional: This is not an invitation to share your life story or personal details. Stick to discussing your professional background, experiences, and skills relevant to the job.
Highlight key accomplishments. Discuss some of your biggest professional achievements that demonstrate your ability to do the job.
Be concise: Aim for a response that's no more than one to two minutes long.

If your resume still sounds like a job description, that’s your first problem.

Here’s how to use the XYZ formula to flip weak, vague bullets into cold, hard proof that you get results. Let’s talk about what it is, how to use it right, and how to diversify your metrics so every line hits.

This is how I write Resumes.

This is for people who are tired of blending in.
What’s the XYZ formula?

It’s simple:

Did X
by doing Y
which resulted in Z

That’s it.

It forces you to be clear about your impact, not just your responsibilities. No fluff. No filler. Just results.
And I need to say this loud and clear:

Stop leaning on percentages like they’re the only way to show value.

Every bullet on your resume shouldn’t end in “increased by X%” or “reduced by Y%.”

There are so many other ways to measure impact:

You want to know how I can tell a cover letter was written by ChatGPT?

It’s not the spelling. It’s not the structure.

It’s the words that show up over and over.

Here’s shit to avoid if you dont want people to instantly know you’re using AI 🧵
First off, kill the dashes “-“ and semi colons, outright say in your prompt to have them removed.

Same goes for emojis.
Avoid these

“Delve”
“Deep dive”
“Tapestry”
“Holistic”
“In the age of…”
“Navigate into the future”
“Make the world a better place”

These are dead giveaways.

Work smarter, not harder. Use ChatGPT to tailor your resume for each job—and do it using the XYZ formula for maximum impact.

What’s the XYZ formula?

Peep game. 🧵
It’s the secret sauce Google uses for evaluating candidates. The formula goes like this:

“Accomplished [X] by doing [Y], resulting in [Z].”

This works because it keeps your achievements specific, measurable, and tied to real outcomes.
It forces you to think beyond tasks and focus on the actual impact you’ve made. Hiring managers love this because it makes your contributions tangible and easy to evaluate.

Here’s how to get ChatGPT to help you nail this:
