Your obsession with perks is ruining your career. Remote work? Free meals? Gym memberships? Nice to have, but they’re not going to fix the real problem. You accepted a role you didn’t actually want. Here’s the harsh truth: Perks won’t make you love your job if the role itself sucks. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. Yet here we are, with software engineers picking roles like they’re choosing toppings for a pizza. Let me break it down: - Perks are temporary but growth is permanent. That remote work policy feels great for the first six months… until you realize your job doesn’t challenge you, and your skills are stagnating. - Shiny perks = distraction from red flags. Hiring manager dodges questions about responsibilities? Vague career path? But hey, unlimited snacks! Stop falling for it. - Misaligned roles lead to misery. A recent SHRM survey found that 56% of job seekers regretted picking jobs based on perks. Guess what didn’t help? Free yoga classes. Here’s my advice. Before you salivate over the benefits, ask yourself: A. Does this role excite me? B. Will I learn something new? C. Do I see myself here in two years? If the answer is "no," walk away. Perks don’t solve career regret. And before anyone says, “But perks matter!” Yes, they do. But they should complement the role, not define it. Prioritize what matters: your work, your growth, your future. Now, tell me. Are you guilty of prioritizing perks over passion? Or do you actually know what you’re doing with your career? Let the debate begin. #SoftwareEngineering #CareerGrowth #Recruitment #JobAdvice #TechCareers

A 30 minute commute. Hybrid. Work from home. Company car. A company that cares about the environment. Family friendly. An amazing salary. A start-up. Amazing benefits. If you’re job searching or looking for your next role, what are your non-negotiables? Do you know what you need and want from your next job? If you don’t, maybe it’s time you had a think about it! Before you even think about applying for a job, you need to be clear on what you will and won’t accept.
