193: Scott R. Tucker and Mike Wallace Discuss Negotiating Benefits Before Accepting Job Offers with Todd Flannery

Also available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/viXaMUS44bg

Jen Amos takes a break from hosting on Thursdays to introduce replays of her husband's live show, "Take A Knee" Tuesdays.

US VetWealth Founder and CEO Scott R. Tucker is joined once again by Blue Water Advisors (BWA) CEO Mike Wallace to discuss the differences between military and civilian benefits, specifically paid time off and holidays. They are also joined by BWA Career Progression Consultant Todd Flannery.

The group discusses the importance of understanding a company's total compensation package, including vacation policies, negotiating for paid time off, and flexible work arrangements. They cover trends in remote work and how priorities can change over different career stages. Overall, they encourage military retirees to do research on potential employers before accepting job offers, consider all aspects of compensation during negotiations, and learn from experiences transitioning between different work environments and companies.
