How do I choose between two job offers?

Two good offers can be harder than one. Compare them side by side on pay, growth, stress and enjoyment, weighted the way you care about them, so the choice isn't just about salary.

A practical framework for comparing offers

  1. Write down the full package for each: pay, leave, flexibility, commute and security.
  2. Choose the priorities that matter to you right now, not what you think should matter.
  3. Score both offers against each priority and give the most important ones more weight.
  4. Picture yourself a year into each job: which would you regret turning down?
  5. Find the one question that could flip the result, and ask the employer before you sign.
