This week Sarah is sitting down with HR leader Stephanie Cogdell to talk about the red flags hiding in job offers and why salary is only half the story.From vague job descriptions and unclear reporting structures to the fine print in benefits packages, Stephanie shares what every candidate should double-check before saying “yes.” She also breaks down the truth about unlimited PTO, why benefits can reduce your pay by thousands, and how to compare offers with confidence.If you’re job hunting, interviewing, or weighing multiple offers, this episode will help you avoid costly mistakes and make sure you’re stepping into the right role for you.🎧 Listen to the Full EpisodeAvailable on Spotify & Apple PodcastsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2O4dBllEAwPAjfYb7SpStv?si=S74w-bRlSaS0Gk3SwWMk2A Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/career-kickstart-conversations-by-kbex-global/id1793376563 👥 Connect With UsHost – Kailyn CorriherLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kailyncorriher/ Co-host – Sarah HawleyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-hawley-338865178/ Guest – Stephanie Cogdell (Prior Director, Total Rewards & HRIS)LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniecogdell/ 📲 Follow Career Kickstart ConversationsTikTok: @careerkickstartpodKBex GlobalWebsite: https://kbexglobal.com/ Instagram: //www.instagram.com/kbexglobal/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/KBex-Global/100064107460220/ About KBex GlobalKBex Global is your trusted staffing partner based in Raleigh, NC, offering exceptional staffing solutions nationwide.
