Saying YES to a job offer ain’t an easy decision. Not only you have to think about the salary part, but there are other factors as well that need to be considered while signing a commitment with the organisation.
Here are the few things to consider before saying YES to a job:
🕹 Learn About the Company: Do research about the company by visiting company websites, talking to current company employees, contact the representative who conducted your interview, or talking to the company’s HR. Take feedback from previous employees or anyone you know working in that company. There are reviews written on numerous platforms as well, go through them.
🕹 Reflect On Your Priorities: Make a list of what you’re looking for in a company, a job and a career. Listing your priorities on a piece of paper usually helps you visualize the upcoming years at your new job. After you make this list, see how each offer is able to satisfy your needs and desires. Reviewing how much the job satisfies your goals is important.
🕹 Analyse Employment Package Offered: It is important to consider the salary and benefits offered by the employer. Carefully evaluate the salary being offered by the company, as well as the benefit offerings, such as health insurance, retirement plan etc. If you feel you are underpaid, you can think of trying somewhere else or negotiate with the HR.
🕹 Look at Future Prospects: See the possible growth opportunities in that job and organisation. If you see a great possibility of learning and upskilling then there is no harm is considering the offer. But if the offer is limiting your growth then you should consider better opportunities.
🕹 Ask for an Extension: Many companies ask you to make a decision about an offer within a week. But if you are not sure, consider asking companies for extensions. It gives you time to carefully evaluate the offer as well as negotiate the terms of the offer. Do not rush into saying yes without considering other opportunities.
Lastly, do not blindly follow what your friends or family have to say about the job offer. Ultimately, it is you who has to work there and not anybody else. Hence, make sure whatever decision you make, gives you complete satisfaction and happiness.
