You are on the verge of a new career decision... 

  Soon enough, doubts start to emerge, and slowly you begin to question which opportunity is the right call.  

Yes, there will come a time when you will need to be able to compare two work options objectively, and you may get stuck with decision paralysis. Do you want to know how to shake it off?  Keep reading

  1. Get the complete info.

Before making a decision, make sure you have answered the following questions from both positions: 

  • What is the compensation package? (Salary? Stipends? ESO? Bonus Structure?) 

  • What is the benefits package? (Insurance? PTO? Paid Sick Leave? Payroll?) 

  • How much do you know about the company's reputation? 

  • Have you read online reviews and talked to other employees through LinkedIn about their experiences? 

  • What would be my career path there? 

  • What new skills will I learn? 

Information is your best friend. 

  2. Compare two typical days.

Once you have the complete information about each company, it's time to ground it.The best way to do so is by comparing a typical day between each company. Ask each hiring manager to describe in detail what a typical work day will look like for someone in that role. By doing so, you can determine whether your planned time commitment matches your interests and abilities.

  3. Use Allison Rimm's Job Comparison Scorecard.

Allison Rimm is a management consultant, speaker, and executive coach. She uses a detailed scorecard to help her clients make an objective decision by comparing the two positions against qualitative and quantitative statements like "average hours of work," "amount of PTO," "schedule flexibility," "leadership opportunities," and so on. To use her scorecard, go to the original article from Harvard Business Review.
