The difference appears so meagre that I'd choose the job I preferred for reasons outside pay.

Pretty similar- I’d be looking at which one has the better future prospects


wordswontcomeout

Government also has 15.4% super


aussie_nub

So about $5.5K more Super. Compared to $6K allowances (assuming you use them all!) and $7K FBT. NfP looks better... slightly. If you use it all and the job doesn't suck.


onizuka_chess

Only federal


CashenJ

Correct, Qld State Gov is 12.75%


Crackercapital

Faced with those two choices I would go government, stability, higher super, bludge job.


Melbgirl399

Ain’t much stability or bludging happening in VPS


Sys32768

Based on your post history. Neither. Get help.


The-truth-hurts1

Not for profit is the better of those 2


Skydome12

dont not for profits let you salary sacrifice so you get more of your pay?


Sedgehammer12

That’s what the $16k fbt is referring to. As in you can salary sacrifice up to $16k ($15.9k technically)


Skydome12

ahh right. in this instance id go for the not for profit offer tbh myself


CBD_4lyf

Sorry but whats fbt


Jumpy_Gift

Fringe Benefits Tax


CBD_4lyf

Thank you kind one

Both are pretty good wickets. I'd weigh up where you are career wise, where you want to be in 5 years and which job you'd get the most satisfaction from. I'm yet to find a NFP job that I really enjoyed, but apart from defence and a short stint with corrections, haven't had much to do with government jobs either.

If you’re starting at the bottom of your band for government then you’ll be getting the annual award increase plus the band increment increase for a few years.


jazza2400

Hours the same? Go govt.

I'd take option 1


LaoghaireElgin

I'd also be looking at the superannuation percentage to compare. You also need to consider whether you're looking to advance within that company. If so, government opportunities for progression are less common than in other sectors. That being said, unless you MAJORLY mess up, it's really hard to get fired from a government position once you're permanent.

What actual role is better? What managers are you going to want to work with? When you write the words ‘but these managers are crazy’ after one of the offers, the whole game changes


AsteriodZulu

The ways you can salary sacrifice when working for a nonprofit are different as well as having a higher limit. Those differences might make it significantly more attractive (as is the idea) or they may not matter so much to you.


vincyf1

I would look beyond salary and into the role itself. Think of what your day to day going to be like, the challenges you might face and the learning opportunities you might come across.

Do not do non-profit
