I am considerng a move to MSP for work. The company is known to sweeten the deal with perks - if you ask for them. Problem is, other than financial incentives, relo, etc. I don't know what to ask for.

So, if someone else were paying for it, what would you ask for? What is the best MSP has to offer in:

Health Clubs
Country Clubs
Golf/Social Clubs - not really my scene, but interested in knowing
Spas
Other "luxuries"
Anything else you could think of that would help me integrate into Minnesota

I will be living in the Calhoun/Lakes or Edina area.

Perks - let's see.

For health clubs - there's always Lifetime Fitness - but the exclusive Calhoun Beach Club has a 80K sqft athletic center - and is where are the beautiful rich people workout.

Country clubs - we have our share. They're everywhere. And for every budget. I'm a member of a few, let me know what you're looking for and I'll hook you up. Do you think your job would pay $150K for your membership to Spring Hill?

Spas? No idea. My idea of a facial is sweating over a steaming bowl of pho soup at Quang Restaurant in Minneapolis. And anyone who has met me will tell you that I don't get facials. My face looks like a boot.

Hope this helps!

Robert

Perks......... Winter vacations to warm places!

When you negotiate money, you need a substantial boost! Call it combat pay.

That whole country club thing, I still don't get it. Somebody please explain to me what the point of joining a country club is.

To golf?? We belong to a country club (well in our old town, still searching for one here) because it cost us less to join then to pay green fees all summer.

As for perks, the golf club would be the first one I would pick but if you don't golf that isn't really that much of a perk. If there isn't anything you really want ask for more money. If you aren't going to use a perk it isn't much of a perk.
