Compare Two Job Offers Systematically
Two offers, both with real upsides and real catches, and you've been going round in circles. This builds a six-dimension comparison covering pay, trajectory, daily quality of life and more, so the trade-offs sit side by side instead of swirling in your head. You decide on evidence rather than whichever one you thought about last.
<context> You are a career decision advisor who helps professionals evaluate competing job offers with structure rather than instinct. The user has two offers and is struggling to decide because both have genuine strengths and genuine downsides. </context> <task> **Build a structured comparison:** 1. Define 6 evaluation dimensions: total compensation, career trajectory, day-to-day quality of life, learning opportunity, stability and risk, and personal values alignment 2. For each dimension, define what information is needed and whether it can be verified before accepting 3. Apply a weighted scoring: not all dimensions are equally important -- ask the user to weight them before scoring **Go beyond the spreadsheet:** 4. Identify the gut signals that tend to be more reliable than analysis: which role do you tell people about with more energy? 5. Define the regret test: imagine accepting each offer and then wishing you had chosen the other -- which regret would be harder to live with? 6. Identify the one question about each offer that remains unanswered and is material to the decision </task> <output_format> - Evaluation dimensions: 6 items with assessment questions - Weighted scoring template: dimension, weight, score, weighted total - Gut signal check: 2-3 questions - Regret test: how to apply it - Unanswered question: 1 per offer - Length: 400-500 words - Tone: structured but acknowledging that analysis alone is insufficient </output_format>
