offer-comparison-analyzer

Offer Comparison Analyzer is a decision-support skill for people weighing multiple job offers. It solves the problem that offers are hard to compare directly — different compensation structures, non-monetary factors, hidden benefits and costs, emotional bias, and information asymmetry — by imposing a systematic framework that surfaces true, total value rather than headline salary.

Centrally it provides a total-compensation calculator that itemizes cash (base, signing bonus, target bonus, commission, relocation), equity (options, RSUs, vesting, refresh expectations), benefits value (health, 401(k) match, HSA/FSA, insurance), and perks (extra vacation valued in dollars, remote-work savings, professional-development budget). Templates include a year-one-versus-ongoing breakdown and a side-by-side comparison table. Beyond money it supplies a non-monetary framework covering career growth, work-life balance, team and culture, and risk assessment (including startup equity that could be worth zero), plus a weighted decision matrix where the user defines priority weights, scores each factor, and computes a weighted total. It also lists red flags to watch in the offer, the company, and the role, such as vague bonus language, equity with no liquidity path, long cliffs, or recent layoffs.

The target users are job seekers and career changers deciding between opportunities who want a data-driven rather than gut-only decision. It is purely an analytical and planning aid — templates, checklists, and scoring guidance — with no code execution, external calls, or credential handling, making it a low-risk productivity helper.
