Maximize the base salary/benefits, then get the best QOL possible to go along with it. Above that, if you choose to trade QOL for $$ by taking JMs, working days off, bidding conflicts, etc, more power to ya. But if you choose to have best QOL possible and still make the best $$ possible, you need to maximize base compensation.

Essentially, we should be striving to make as much money possible for minimum possible work. Everything after that is personal preference--QOL vs $$.

We'll have to agree to disagree... My W2, days off, quality of life, and insurance benefits are all important to me. I won't be focused on just rates and I will carefully review the full TA before voting on it. Not just the pay scale. Again that number is only one in the equation.
