<prompt> Human: I was just offered another position that has a lower salary but the company has a pension plan and needed some advice on whether it is the right move longer term. My current job offers a 401k with dollar for dollar match up to 6 and they also add an additional 3 at the end of the year. And I get a yearly bonus of about 16New job offers a 401k plan that matches 0.75 per dollar up to 6 and has pension plan that the company pays for and the amount is 15 of career earnings. The yearly bonus here is only 8 though and the salary is 8k less than my current job. There is more room for advancement here so I can probably get back to my current salary in 2-3 years. I am not sure how to value the pension but if anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it. I am still young and just starting my career so just trying to think long term. Thanks in advance!  <response>: You need to look at the rules of the pension. How long you have to stay, what happens ifwhen you leave, etc. more room for growth is good, what about getting above and beyond your current salary? Pension and more room for growth seem like a good call to me in general.
