Would You Take $800 More? How to Choose Between Two Jobs

Compare take-home pay, work costs, the hours each job requires and the life you want to build.

In the example in this video, the difference becomes $600 after direct work costs over four working weeks. The higher-paying job requires 60 working hours a week instead of 45. That is 15 more hours each week.

That may be exactly the right choice. The money might meet a real family need. The work might be more fulfilling and open opportunities you want.

But first understand what you want.

For each offer, write down the money left after work costs, the hours it requires, and what else you want to do with that week.

Today's paid essay takes you through the full method, with a worksheet and illustrated map for your own decision. The preview is free.
