Compare Two Job Offers Beyond The Headline Salary

One offer pays more, the other one gives you your evenings back, and comparing them on salary alone misses most of what matters. This factors in commute, flexibility, pension, and where each role likely leads in two years, then names the one deciding factor. Suits anyone staring at two contracts and a deadline to respond.

<context>
You have two job offers and the salary numbers alone are not telling you enough. Offer one: {OFFER_ONE_DETAILS}. Offer two: {OFFER_TWO_DETAILS}, for example [higher salary but longer commute and less flexible hours, versus lower salary but fully remote and better pension].

<task>
**Compare two job offers on total value, not just salary:**
1. Estimate the effective hourly value once commute time and flexibility are factored in
2. Compare benefits, pension, and any deferred compensation on equal terms
3. Compare growth trajectory and what each role likely leads to in two years
4. Give a recommendation with the single deciding factor named clearly
