Challenge

Choose between multiple job offers

A structured way to choose: your priorities made explicit, every offer compared on the same terms, the promises and the risks behind each one named. Not a gut feeling under time pressure. A choice you can explain.

Each offer wins on a different day

  • You have two or more offers and each looks good for different reasons.
  • Salary, title and flexibility pull you in different directions.
  • You're worried about a decision you'll regret later.
  • Well-meaning friends offer conflicting advice.
  • You feel pressure to choose quickly but want to be sure.
How we'd work on it · CoreFrame 4D™

Four stages. One decision you can explain a year from now.

The same method serious organisations use for decisions worth millions, applied to yours. Structured conversations, work between sessions on both sides, and a written result you keep.

01DiagnoseWhat "the right job" means for you now: growth, stability, learning, balance, pay, the people. Which of these are must-haves, and what you're really solving by moving.
02DesignEach offer as a well-formed option, including the version you could still negotiate. The same criteria for all of them, so they compare fairly and not by whoever called last.
03DecideOffers weighed against your criteria, with the uncertainties named: how solid each company is, how real the interview promises are, what happens if the market turns. Trade-offs written down, so you don't reopen the question in week three.
04DoThe acceptance and the declines handled cleanly, negotiation closed, and a first-90-days plan so the choice proves itself in practice. A check-in included.
You take home

A written Decision Dossier: your criteria and values hierarchy, a trade-off table of your options, your rationale, and a 30/60/90-day action plan.

Format

Typically one to three 90-minute working sessions, online, plus work in between on both sides. You buy the result, not hours. A check-in within 30 days is included.

Stop at any time

End a sprint at any point and pay only for what was done by then, never the full fee without the deliverable. Half the fee is invoiced on confirmation and half with the deliverable; if a sprint ends earlier, the difference is settled as a refund or as a final invoice.

Confidential

Everything stays between us. No third parties, no exceptions unless you ask or the law requires it.

Why a pros-and-cons list doesn't work

The list changes every time you write it

Because it has no weights, no criteria and no honest view of the risks; it just mirrors how you feel that day. Decision analysis fixes that: explicit criteria, options compared on the same terms, uncertainty named instead of ignored. The decision stays yours. The reasoning becomes durable.

Questions people ask

I have to answer by a fixed date. Is that enough time?

That depends on the date and on what still needs to be worked out, so we look at it together in the first call. Either there is a workable way through the time you have, and I say what it covers and what it leaves out, or there is not, and I say that too. What you will not get is a promise the calendar cannot keep.

Is this coaching or therapy?

Neither. Therapy works on how you feel and where that comes from. Coaching works on habits, performance and goals. Here we work the problem itself: the facts, the options, what you value, the risks, and what each path would ask of you. The methods come from strategy, governance, risk management and decision analysis. If what you need is treatment or support with your mental health, that is another profession, and I say so.

What if I regret the decision later?

A decision made on explicit criteria stays explainable even when the outcome disappoints, which is why the reasoning is written down rather than remembered. Your dossier carries a 30/60/90-day plan, and a check-in within 30 days is included, so new information reaches the plan while adjusting is still cheap.

What happens between the sessions?

The larger part of the work. I structure, research, model and write while we are not meeting, and there is usually something on your side too: a document to find, an option to test, a conversation to have. I say what I need and why, so that a session starts where it should.
