Job Offer Pros and Cons List
A pros and cons list gives a decision a visible structure when the details are pulling in different directions. This job-offer example separates practical benefits, such as salary and insurance, from concerns about commute, workload and leave. It does not calculate a winner; instead, it makes the trade-offs available for an honest conversation or a second pass after gathering more information. Add items that reflect your own priorities, including manager support, flexibility, travel or growth opportunities. The same format works for a career decision, a purchase, a move, or any choice where the reasons for and against need to be seen together.
