So You’ve Got Multiple Job Offers… Now What?

You’ve been looking for a new job for what seems like forever, and now you have multiple job offers on the table! This may seem like the most exciting time of your life, but it can also be extremely stressful to know that you’re making such an important decision in your career that could affect your future earning potential and lifestyle. So how do you decide what to do? We’ve put together this article to help you answer this question as best as possible by walking you through things to consider when comparing job offers so that you can make the right choice that fits your needs and lifestyle best.

The 5 components of total compensation 

If you’re debating between more than one job offer, it’s important to compare the total compensation package from each potential employer. This includes not only salary but other factors such as benefits, bonuses, and perks like vacation time or reimbursement for business expenses. The different jobs may have different duties, so in addition to the above factors it’s also important to compare company culture and work/life balance. It’s a good idea to ask yourself whether your current workplace will be able to provide what you need, whether or not the jobs are alike.

The pros and cons of working at different companies

Doing your research can help you figure out which company offers the best benefits, compensation, company culture, team members and management. It’s important to carefully evaluate multiple job offers to find the position that suits you the best before accepting one. So go ahead and grab a cup of coffee. We’ll wait while you look at all your options!

How much should money matter when making a decision?

The short answer is, of course it should matter. The long answer is that money should be a consideration but shouldn’t be the deciding factor. Money can come into play in other ways when it comes to career decisions and salaries, but first you need to ask yourself some questions: are you getting the right type of environment for your skillset and personality? Are you going to grow while working there? Does this company have the same values as you do? And finally, what’s your total cost of living and salary going to look like in two years if I work here vs.

Are there any other important factors to consider?

The most important factors to consider when comparing multiple job offers are: how many hours you’re expected to work, your salary, whether there’s room for growth at the company, and the type of work you’ll be doing.
There are more intangible things to consider as well – how large is the company culture, what type of environment will you be working in, etc. Even if one offer sounds perfect on paper, if you don’t like the people or the office culture it’s worth turning down an offer or two so that you can find a good fit.

Travelling time for your daily work

Part of this includes estimating how much travel time you might spend each day. In an office with a standard 9-to-5 schedule, the daily travel time could be a few minutes or even less, but if you have after-hours meetings or deal with deadlines, it can take much longer. This is something to factor in, because while some people love a good adventure (especially when they get to visit different countries!), most of us don’t enjoy it as much. When you’re using mileages between cities as a rough estimate for your daily work distance traveled and adding up all the necessary commuting hours each week, remember that your weekends will also be spent working most likely. That’s why some people would actually prefer moving to another city rather than spending more time in their own town!
