worth making.
Compare like with like
A title alone is not a benchmark. Scope, seniority, working hours, location and responsibility change what a fair comparison means.
Ask the practical questions
Clarify probation, review points, leave, medical cover, equipment, travel and the expectations that are not captured in one salary figure.
Get the offer in writing
Before you resign or commit, make sure the role, pay, start date and key terms are clear in a document you can read carefully.
Use the offer conversation to decide with clarity, then find the next real opportunity.
