    Which of these feels like a better deal once you’re making $50k+ as a software engineer?

        I'm not sure I fully understand the question. The math says 17% is the better deal.

        Ahh... that's the piece I was missing. There would have to be a fairly significant jump to make up the difference, and the two year option gives it to you sooner so you can invest/use it sooner.

        I feel like some people might get in financial trouble with 17%. It's quite a chunk

        17% of salary on top of taxes + cost of living feels tight. 10% over 3 years is more comfortable.

        It’s about Cash Flow/daily life benefit, not math. 10% helps you with the rest of your life needs.

        I'd take a different approach. If you're doing 3 years, perhaps keep it low the first year (maybe 10%?), ~13% 2nd year, 18% the 3rd year? You're at the lowest the first year since you're building exp, but a higher % becomes more manageable when exp and $ trend up.

        Being free of debt is worth the extra few percentage points.

        There's a fixed amount needed to live easily, and the 10% option leaves more funds for that fixed cost.

        And the beauty is that #2 is risk reversal: below the cap, LS makes more money if the student gets a raise. Less money if they do not. ( 2 x.17= .34, 3x.1=10) I LIKE it.

        Make it an option maybe? I’d guess the preference really depends on where you’re located

        Even though it might not be the better deal, I’d take the 10% over the 17%. For a kid just starting out, the 17% doesn’t hurt as much as it does when you’re older with a family and a mortgage.
