You have a big career decision to make. Maybe you’ve been offered an exciting new opportunity — on the other side of the country. Or maybe you’ve been unhappy in your job and need a change — but haven’t been able to find inspiring alternatives.
A Scorecard to Help You Compare Two Jobs
You have a big career decision to make. Maybe you’ve been offered an exciting new opportunity, or maybe you’ve been unhappy in your job and need a change. Decisions like these often produce a conundrum: how to make major decisions that balance career growth with satisfaction in other domains of your life. While it’s often easy to see the impact a certain choice will have on objective criteria such as duties, position, prestige, salary, and opportunities for advancement, evaluating the “softer” considerations is tougher. To take an objective look at decidedly subjective considerations, use a scorecard to quantify and visualize the pros and cons of various choices – taking into consideration the impact each would have on matters of both heart and head.
