An example. My other half was offered a new job and was happy with the money offered and had nearly accepted when she decided to ask me for a second opinion. I explained that, given the different terms and conditions (less holiday, different pension) she was actually accepting a pay cut, nevermind getting a bit of a raise out of changing jobs. A day or so of phone negotiations and she had the offer raised by a significant amount.
