Sathi Beta

One request, all the way through

Two job offers, and the question under them: worthwhile work, and evenings with the people this person cares about.

1. You bring the two offers

   Offer – first companyPDFOffer – second companyPDF

   Help me compare these offers with what matters to me.

2. Your own words, dated and sourced

   Sathi:

   I’ve read both offers.

   You said on 2 September:

   I want to stay close to family this year.

   Does that still apply?

   Yes. And I want to be home by six.

3. What the letters leave out is never taken as certain

   Sathi:

   The second offer doesn’t say how much travel it needs. I need that before I can compare your time at home. Here is what both letters do say.

   Re: Travel and working hours

   Travel is two nights a month, planned at least a month ahead. Hours are flexible; many of the team work 8:00 to 16:30.

6. An updated comparison, in a new revision

   They replied. What changes?

   Sathi:

   Travel is two nights a month, planned ahead. On those nights you wouldn’t be home by six; on other days you could leave at 16:30. I’ve written an updated comparison.
