2025-05-17 03:00:28I negotiated a salary increase, feeling quite proud of myself. Then I discovered it had pushed me into a higher tax bracket, leaving me with less money than before. The number on my contract was bigger, but my bank account told a different story. That’s when I realized the importance of focusing on net income rather than gross salary. Sometimes, a slightly lower salary with better tax efficiency can actually be more valuable in the end.
