Below are three factors to consider when deciding to accept a job or not:

1. Title and salary. Title gives you an idea of the duties and responsibilities of the job while salary information allows you to know your worth. If the title corresponds to your expectations on the nature of the job and the proposed salary matches your worth, then go.

2. Bonuses and other benefits. Bonuses add weight to your total compensation package while benefits include health and dental insurance, among others. The bigger the bonuses and the more comprehensive the benefits are, the better for you.

3. Start date.
Your start date should always be included in your job offer letter or else, you will be left hanging in the air and it’s not a good sign.
