Welp,
I've been tired of my job for some time now as a worker's comp claims assitant. And Just recently i been really do some job searching.
I'll try to make a long long story short.....Basically i am getting low balled in my pay at work. I've taken on the job of two former supervisors along with my claims assistant role. My salary..28,400....yeap, thats what i live off of.
Well, a lady who used to work here, who got laid off in Oct 05, became a supervisor at Ace Insurance and said they had a Claims Assistant position open and she wanted to me come interview for the job...I think it was gonna pay 32000...But also its like an hour drive each way compared to the 14 minute drive i have now. So i went on the interview 3 weeks ago....They called me back a few days ago asking me if i would rather come on as a Claim Rep in training, course i said sure why not....My friend told me the job would prolly pay around 35k to start....
Welp the VP of Claims called me yesterday and said they would like to make me an offer...$39,500 to start 2 wks vaca, 2 personal days, they give you 6% of your pay for 401k regardless if you contribute into it or not and they will match 6%..basically if i contribute 6% they give me 12% and only 6% comes out of my pay...CHeaper med/vision/dental cost then my current job....Plus if the Company meets their goals they put 3% of your salary into your 401k as a bonus..and as of now i have no 401k..zip, zilch, zero...
I figure with the free 6%into 401k, thats like making 41870 a year......not quite the SAME but hell it works for me....
So i am just waiting for the offer letter in the mail, go get my drug test and wait for background check and i will have a new job soon...
pretty excited..
