> I'm trying to think creatively about benefits that would make me consider a 90k salary.

Pay my rent, absolutely free childcare, and 100% covered healthcare costs?

> The #1 thing that could entice me, over salary, would be some way for my employer to help me secure a decent mortgage...

You mean cosign? Otherwise that just looks like a really big signing bonus.

And yea, 100% coverage of childcare (or student loans) could help a lot. I don't have kids, but I've heard about those costs being astronomical.

If that's too expensive for the company, perhaps starting a childcare program with some other startups could lower that cost?

Sure, and/or work with a bank to get me better rates, closing costs covered, etc. Some of it could be a signing bonus I guess?
