Jeanne Sahadi at CNNMoney.com is reporting that in hot job markets like information technology and healthcare, salaries and benefits are going up, up, and up. Potential employees are being enticed with:

  • Higher starting salaries
  • Signing bonuses
  • Profit sharing
  • Performance-based bonuses
  • Money to relocate
  • Money to lease a car
  • Country club membership
  • Down payment for a home

If you’re not in the market for a new job and can’t swing any of these enticement deals, you can:

  • Talk to your boss and review your compensation package.
  • Push for an accelerated pay review schedule,
  • Shop yourself around, get a better offer, and take it to your boss to see if they can match it (but this can backfire if they get a negative impression of your loyalty).

And don’t forget my previous post about determining your earning potential in healthcare.
