Greeting Colleagues:

I am participating in a Roundtable session at the upcoming MAAM conference.  My topic will be what to look for in a potential new job -- kind of an HR angle. Our target audience, but by no means exclusive to them, are EMPs. I was inspired to lead this discussion because until I managed large budgets and hired staff I didn't realize how much of one's salary is invisible -- i.e. vacations, health insurance etc.  

In these troubled times I happily haven't been laid off but I was furloughed last year and will be furloughed again this year.  I also,it goes with out saying, haven't been in a position to hire.  So here is my question -- for anyone lucky enough to either get a new job or hire new staff --what are the questions you have asked or been asked about job security and ways to sweeten a potential less than desirable salary?  Any interesting or sticky HR situations that you could share with me and then could share with participants of the roundtable -- i will of course keep everyone's anonymity. 

Thanks in advance for any insights that you can offer.
