by rnjoy

My company pays very low, but I am housed alone with a high housing stipend. Do the companies that pay high also have high stipends? Does it all average out in the end? Just wondering if I should move on...

I live alone, have a completely furnished apt with dishes, linens, etc. and my salary is very, very good. Whe you are talking about your housing stipend, is it in par with the other apartments in your area with utilities, or seem inflated?
Do you pay for your utilities or does your company? What is actually included? Telephone, cable?
