Someone offers you a new job, shall you take it? I found these questions seem to be useful.
* Objective, or you shall have a good idea how to answer these questions before taking the job
* Subjective, or you shall have a warm, fuzzy answer from the office visits and interviews
Objective questions:
1. How is the work schedule? Does it fit your lifestyle, or you're comfortable routine? (Give that 10 points)
2. How is the location, and commute? Will you be happy with a lot of boring commute, or willing to put up middle of nowhere live style? (Give that 10 points, or 5 points - if you are young).
3. How much you will be compensated? Once you're compensated for the comfort living, money seems to be less important. Assuming your basic needs are taken care off, the salary plays a small part of your "career package" (Give that 20 points, or 15 points if you are young)
Subjective questions:
1. Can you do the job? Knowing what's going one will make your day go faster, and stress free (Give that 30 points).
2. How is your boss? Can you maintain a good professional relationship? Can he/she be a mentor? (Give that 20 points, or 25 points if you are young)
3. How is your co-worker? Do you feel good to see them? (Give that 10 points)
4. Growth opportunities? The big company tends to offer more growth opportunities than a smaller organization. (Give that 5 points, or 10 points - if you are young)
Let's make a table (now) and (new offer) - and see whether it's a good idea to jump ship.
Example of evaluation sheet:
