CONTEXT
Offer details: [OFFERS]
My decision priorities: [PRIORITIES]
Location and work arrangement needs: [LOCATION AND WORK NEEDS]
Decision deadlines: [DEADLINES]
OBJECTIVE
Compare the offers transparently and identify which unresolved terms deserve clarification or negotiation.
INSTRUCTIONS
Build a side-by-side comparison of guaranteed cash, variable compensation, equity terms, benefits, working conditions, manager support, learning potential, and career direction. Separate known values from estimates and unknowns. Do not treat private-company equity as cash or assume bonuses will pay in full. Create a weighted decision matrix using my stated priorities, explaining that scores reflect preferences rather than objective truth. Show how the outcome changes under two reasonable alternative weightings. Identify critical questions for each employer and draft a respectful request for missing information or more decision time.
CONSTRAINTS
Avoid fabricated statistics, tax estimates, equity valuations, or employer facts. Flag assumptions and show calculations. Recommend qualified advice for material legal, tax, or equity uncertainties.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide the comparison, sensitivity analysis, clarification questions, and a conditional decision summary.
