Advice please: wage negotiation

[shootingstar]

Are you wanting to leave your current employer because your skills are underutilized?

Not sure about the promises of profit share. I guess I swallow that stuff always with a huge grain of salt.

I have worked for a firm where our individual bonus was contingent on work performance....based on written work goals done 12 months in advance. We (all employees plus managers) were evaluated against written job skills criteria at different advancement/complexity levels. That's fair. But then that was a large firm. It was enough stress but yes, my skill set did ramp up alot..and the firm did also provide some coverage for local and some international conference support. Also provided alot of internal structured employee training programs. Does this new firm provide this form of staff development?

What is the vacation benefit offer? That's important if the job has greater goal setting expectations.

ANd if you don't mind me asking, what industry does this job exist in? As you might know, certain industries are booming in B.C., others are struggling.
