10. Don’t assume that salary pay is necessarily better
Don’t assume that salary pay is necessarily better. Every job and every employee’s personal situation is different, so crunch the numbers and weigh the benefits for yourself.

11. Which is better?
You are making $50,000 per year and working 60 hours per week, how much is that per hour? ( 52 weeks in 1 year)
50, / 52 weeks / 60 hours = $16.02 per hour. Or
You are making $40,000 per year and working 40 hours per week,
40, / 52 weeks / 40 hours = $19.23 per hour.
