Getting a job offer can feel like crossing the job search finish line, but before you accept an offer and do a victory lap,<\/h1>\n

it's important to remember a job offer is more than just the salary.<\/h1>\n

Make sure to evaluate all aspects of salary, benefits, and work\/play\/love\/health balance before making a decision.<\/h1>\n

Your first step should be to graciously thank your potential employer, then take time to consider the offer.<\/h1>\n

Most employers will give you a few days (and maybe up to a week or two) to make your decision.<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
