Most top talent gets multiple job offers when they start looking.
Majority blindly takes the one with highest in hand salary.
Not always the best move.

Here’s how to pick the right job offer👇🏼

⚡️ Ask the right questions.
Why are you even looking?
How do you want to spend your day?
What are your aspirations?
You need to decide what you want.


💡 Understand the job offer(s).
Look past the CTC. Salary hike difference won’t matter to you in 3 months. Understand if this is an IC role/lead role? Is this something that’ll excite you to put in the work every day for atleast few years? How will you spend time differently?


🕹 Decide what makes you click.
Is it the money?
Is it the experience?
Is it the impact?
Is it the designation?
Is it work life balance?
Be honest, it’ll help.


✅ Align your work life goals.
Early stage companies have a lot to do with very little bandwidth. You don’t want to end up in a high enthu team with a no work weekends. Pick a larger org if that’s a problem. Do what works for you, nothing is right or wrong.


♥️ Culture, Culture, Culture.
Always optimise for it. Speak to past employees and understand the vibe. No amount of salary hike will give you more happiness than a great culture. Few understand this & rest pay the price.


🥶 Don’t stress, keep dating.
Think of picking an offer is like dating. If it works out, you’ll have kids together. If it doesn’t you keep dating. Your life’s not going to end.
