Anyone else agree, don't trade salary for ESOP?
Looked up a notable GC I'm interviewing with. I already saw 2 reviews that said "lower salaries but make up for it with ESOP." Im 42 years old, currently paid very well at an EPCM. Sure I dont have an ESOP, but an ESOP isnt going to pay the bills right now. Many would like to say you have to live within your means, well the economy in today's America makes that pretty damn hard to do and I dont have properties or toys like boats or 4-wheelers. I believe if a company wants you bad enough they will have to pay you to move over and thats not 'latent pay', thats immediate pay.
