1. Consider the Big Picture.
Consider long-term ambitions; short-term desires may sway your argument in an unfavourable way. An increase in pay could sound appealing right about now. However, it may be preferable to prioritise freedom over financial security if you know you want to relocate to Mexico City in six months and this position doesn't allow for remote work.
2. Do your homework on each company.
Though you likely did some reading in advance of your interviews, now is the time to really get in. Examine sites like Glassdoor to learn more about market rates of pay and employee opinions. You may tell if your present staff likes working for you by looking at their LinkedIn pages to see if they are sharing company updates.
3. Ask employees on their experience.
Contacting present workers is the best approach to learn about a position from their perspective. If you want to get in touch with someone professionally, you should use their business email or social media account, such as LinkedIn. Ask direct, open-ended questions that allow for extensive responses while keeping your message succinct and your expectations crystal clear.
4. Think about the effort.
Put yourself in this new role for at least an hour. Think about the best and worst possible workdays for each position. Think about your commute (or lack thereof), breaks, team structure, and meetings. Evaluate each job's potential for a healthy work-life balance.
5. Request a second call.
Hiring managers are aware of how significant a decision a job offer is. A significant portion of your day will be devoted to this activity. It's how you put food on the table and where you'll likely meet future companions. Ask for a follow-up call if you've remembered more questions since the interview. They'll respect your initiative, and you'll both learn more before settling on a course of action.
6. Don't rush things.
A red flag should be raised if a prospective employer expects a response on the same day they extend an offer. It's a significant choice, and companies are aware that many applicants will be submitting their resumes to more than one company. It's possible they're trying to use the deadline as leverage to get you to say yes. The standard amount of time people take to think about a job offer is three days, although this is entirely up to you. You might think over the pros and downsides, get in touch with the company for clarification, and talk to current or former employees.
7. Talk to seniors about it.
After mulling it over for a few days, it's a good idea to seek advice from those close to you. You could also talk to a professional mentor or guidance counsellor about your choices.
Make your career fulfilling.
Remember that you have the freedom to alter your position at any time throughout the debate. Don't place too much stock in this selection because you're never going to be stuck in the same job for the rest of your career. You have to decide between two jobs, but neither of them is likely to be your permanent one. And if you're still on the fence about it after a few days, that's a good sign that you'll be satisfied in either role. Pick the option that fills you with the most joy right now.
