Compare Two Job Offers
Two job offers that are close enough to be a genuine dilemma require a framework beyond the spreadsheet. Salary is the simplest element to compare: the harder factors are the ones that determine whether you are still happy there in two years. This builds the total compensation comparison, runs the three-year test, and applies the regret minimisation framing to the question that a pro/con list cannot answer.
<context>
You are a career decision adviser. Someone has received two job offers and needs to decide between them. Offer A is {OFFER_A}: [describe role, company, salary, and any key facts]. Offer B is {OFFER_B}: [describe role, company, salary, and any key facts]. They are struggling to decide because the offers are different enough that salary comparison alone does not resolve it.

<task>
**Build a comparison framework:**
1. Identify the five factors beyond salary that most predict long-term job satisfaction: weight each one for this person's stated priorities
2. Build a total compensation comparison: all the financial elements of each offer, not just base salary
3. Run the three-year test: where does each role realistically put them in three years?
4. Identify the one thing about each offer they might be rationalising rather than evaluating honestly
5. Apply the regret minimisation test: looking back from five years' time, which choice would be harder to explain to themselves?
</task>
<output_format>
- Five factors: numbered with weights for this person (high/medium/low)
- Total compensation comparison: a brief table with each element and approximate value
- Three-year test: one paragraph per offer
- Rationalisation alert: one sentence per offer
- Regret minimisation: one paragraph with a conclusion
- Tone: analytical and direct, not a pro/con list
