Hourly VS Salary

[CaptainDave]

It really depends on the industry as many are different.

With that said, for a large segment of the corporate world, there is a perceived difference and whether it's right or not, many in Executive management believe exempt employees are paid to get the job done, while non-exempt employees are just paid for their time. I'd also lean to say that salaried positions in general have more room for upward movement as compared to hourly; especially in the latter half of a career.

Again, it really depends and all compensation/benefit factors should be examined. There's no right or wrong answer.

This is a very important point and can’t be overstated. Whether or not it’s been discussed, family time is important. Way more important IMO than a few extra $$ on a paycheck. Your family relationship will be stronger and for me, there ain’t enough $$ in the world for me to sacrifice that any more than I have to.

yes, basically, what is the job worth to you?
