Show HN: Decision OS – A framework to evaluate job offer risk (not just salary)
1 points| cosmok | 14 days ago
A few days ago I shared my "Should I Quit?" calculator. The most common feedback was: "Okay, I should quit, but how do I know the next thing isn't worse?"
So I built Part 2: The Offer Evaluator.
Most offer comparison tools just look at Total Comp or commute time. I wanted to model the structural risks of a career move using a weighted decision matrix.
The Methodology: The "Decision OS" compares three states: Current Role vs. New Offer vs. The Market (Keep Searching). Instead of just looking at cash, it scores them on:
Reversibility: If this role is a catastrophe, how hard is market re-entry? (High reversibility = lower risk).
Sustainability: Calculated based on the gap between your current burnout levels and the new role's expected operational tempo.
Downside Safety: Modeling the stability of the new company's runway vs. your current role.
I’m curious if you think "Reversibility" should be weighted higher than "Upside" in the current economic climate.
