Salary & Compensation

How to Evaluate a Job Offer

Look past base salary: total compensation, benefits, flexibility, and growth all change the math.

Build the total picture

Add base pay, bonus structure, equity if offered, retirement contributions, and the real cost of health coverage. Two offers with the same base can differ meaningfully once benefits are included.

Weigh the non-financial terms

Work arrangement, commute, schedule predictability, travel expectations, and manager quality all affect whether you stay in the role long enough to benefit from it.

Ask clarifying questions in writing

Request the offer details in writing and confirm start date, review cycle, and any variable compensation mechanics before accepting.
