Job Seekers > Job Seeker Resources > Assessing a Job Offer Assessing a Job OfferThe prospect of starting a new role can be exciting but it is crucial that you don’t let the elation of a job offer blind your judgement. Whether you have multiple job offers or just one, here are four questions to ask yourself before you decide on what to do next. Am I Happy with the Compensation?Our latest Salary Survey found that a higher salary was the top priority for 40% of people seeking a new job. Whether you’re one of those individuals or not, you need to ask yourself whether the rise or fall in salary would be worth it in the long-term? In most cases, employers may be open to negotiating salary.
