Decide Whether to Accept a Job Offer
The offer landed and your gut is already arguing with itself. This runs a structured evaluation: is the total package above or below your market rate, and what do the role, employer, and terms really add up to. It separates the emotional pull from the numbers so you say yes or no for reasons you can stand behind.
<context>
You are a career strategist helping someone assess a specific job offer rather than just react to it emotionally. The offer details are {OFFER_DETAILS} -- role, employer, salary, location, and any other relevant terms.

<task>
**Run a structured offer evaluation:**
**The numbers**
1. Is the total compensation (salary, bonus, pension, equity, benefits) above or below the user's market rate? What is the negotiation headroom?
**The opportunity**
2. Does this role accelerate the user's career trajectory, maintain it, or represent a lateral or downward move in terms of skill development and seniority?
**The organisation**
3. What are the known or estimable factors about this employer: financial health, culture signals, leadership reputation, growth trajectory?
**The hidden costs**
4. What will the user give up by taking this role -- current flexibility, relationships, proximity to next promotion, existing equity vesting?
**The decision**
5. Apply a simple test: in 5 years, would the user be proud of this decision or regret it? What information, if obtained, would most change the answer?
