Quote from: eostache on June 01, 2017, 09:54:40 AMI had my second interview for a position a couple days ago. That interview was mostly to speak with a manager that could not be at the first interview. I thought it went pretty well but I have not heard back from them yet. The only thing I'm wondering about is that it is a small business (about 40 people) that does not offer health insurance to the employees, but I was told it's in the plans. So I would have to see about going through the state ACA exchange (Colorado). I would be making around $40k at this job. What I am wondering about is that if I got health insurance through an employer it is paid for with pre-tax money but if I buy it myself it is not. Can you deduct the cost of premiums on your taxes?I got offered the job!It's not super high paying but it does pay more than the last real job that I had when I got laid off in 2014. $40k is pretty good for this backwater of a city. It's 3 miles away and I will try to bike commute it (I mostly need to see where I can keep my bike during the day.)
