Hello!
I'm turning 30 this year and finally moved out of my parent's home a year ago with a roommate. As a result, this low paying teacher's aid gig ain't it. In 7 years there I made 37k a year (gross). The only reason was because of the benefits and it took me 3 years to get my associates once I turned 25 (FAFSA kicked in with my taxes).
The struggle is real. Anyways, through volunteer work and other activities I found an entry level job paying 50-65k a year with benefits. They claim bachelors degree required and a few years experience, but I went for it and I'm in the final round. Once I leave my current job my benefits will expire at the end of the month in which I resign. Not a great time to have started my allergy shot regimen and therapy, but I LOVE my health insurance and maxed out my HSA to do this.
If they offer me the job, my question is:
Should I/could I ask for benefits coming in sooner? Do I accept the first offer? What do I do?
Thank you in advance
