Question

Ariel wants to compare the salaries for positions she was offered at two companies. What should she consider in this process? Check all that apply.
She should research the cost of living of different locations to compare against the offered salaries.
She should research the benefits included in each offer.
She should research the average salary of similar positions to see if the offers are fair.
She should take the position that offers the largest salary.
She should take the position that has the lowest cost of living.

Answer 1

Select the first three only:

- She should research the cost of living of different locations to compare against the offered salaries.
- She should research the benefits included in each offer.
- She should research the average salary of similar positions to see if the offers are fair.

Don't assume she must take the highest salary or the job in the lowest-cost location—total compensation, benefits, career fit, commute, growth opportunities, and personal priorities all matter.
