How to Use

Welcome

This is your career decision engine — not another career tool. The goal is to give you a clear, defensible answer every time you face a significant career decision.

• • All your data stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
• • Run any mode as many times as you need. There is no limit.
• • Export your decision report as a PDF after every simulation.

Tip: Start with Mode 1 if you have an offer in hand. Start with Mode 2 if you are evaluating whether to stay or leave.

Mode 1 — Evaluate an Offer

You have an offer in hand and need to know whether to take it. The engine analyzes:

• • Compensation — base, bonus, equity, and total package
• • Household reality — your expenses, dependents, and financial resilience
• • Career factors — growth, manager quality, brand impact, and promotion potential
• • Risk — company stability, industry outlook, and transition risk

Output: GO, MAYBE, or NO — with a walk-away number and negotiation plan.

Tip: Be as specific as possible with compensation figures. The more precise your inputs, the stronger the recommendation.

Mode 2 — Should I Leave?

No offer yet. You want to know if your current situation is strong enough to stay — or weak enough that you should actively pursue something new.

• • Your current role quality — manager, team, growth, compensation satisfaction
• • Internal promotion probability
• • Career trajectory — where this path leads in 24 months
• • Opportunity cost of staying

Output: STAY, EXPLORE, or LEAVE — with specific reasoning.

Tip: Answer honestly. The engine cannot help you if you rate your current manager higher than they deserve.

Mode 3 — Target Offer Generator

You are not evaluating a specific offer. You want to know what an offer would need to look like to make a move worthwhile.

• • Minimum acceptable base salary
• • Target base salary
• • Bonus target
• • Equity / sign-on recommendation
• • Walk-away threshold

Output: A specific compensation target you can use in any negotiation.

Tip: Use this before you begin interviewing. Walking in with a number changes every conversation.

Side-by-Side — Compare Two Offers

You have two offers and need to know which one is stronger — and by how much. The engine runs both offers through the same model and produces:

• • Side-by-side GO / MAYBE / NO
• • Delta analysis — which offer wins on each dimension
• • A clear overall winner with reasoning

Tip: Enter both offers as accurately as possible. Small differences in equity or bonus structure often change the outcome.
