Congratulations! An offer means your preparation paid off. Here's how to handle it well.
In Orbit
- Change the job status to "Offer"
- Enter offer details in the War Room: base salary, bonus, equity, benefits
- Check the deadline — How long do you have to respond?
If you have ONE offer
- Don't accept immediately (unless it's your dream job and you're certain)
- Take 24-48 hours to review
- Use Scout Chat: "Help me evaluate this offer from [company]"
- Check Trends > Insights > Salary Range to see how it compares
If you have MULTIPLE offers
- Enter all offers in the War Room
- Use the comparison tab to see them side by side
- Consider: compensation, growth, culture, commute/remote, team, mission
- Use the leverage tab for negotiation templates
Negotiation tips
- Always negotiate. 85% of employers expect it.
- Use data: "Based on market rates for this role in [city]..."
- Negotiate base salary first, then bonus, then equity
- Be professional and grateful — you're starting a relationship
- Orbit's Compose templates have negotiation email drafts
After accepting
- Change status to the final state
- Career Mode activates — start your 90-day onboarding journal
- Withdraw from other active jobs
- Thank everyone who helped you (Orbit's follow-up reminders will remind you)
Enjoy this moment. You earned it.
