# ofertas

Source: https://career-ops.org/docs/reference/modes/ofertas (canonical HTML, identical content)

> Used when you have two or more competing offers in hand and need a normalized comparison across comp, role fit, growth trajectory, and red flags. Outputs a ranked recommendation.



## What it does [#what-it-does]

The `ofertas` mode reads multiple JD evaluations (already produced by oferta or auto-pipeline) and ranks them against each other on the five dimensions plus a holistic global score and a normalized decision matrix. The output is a side-by-side comparison report and a ranked recommendation.

## When to use it [#when-to-use-it]

Use ofertas when you reach late-stage interviews for multiple roles and need a structured way to decide between them. Particularly useful for staff-level offers where comp packages and growth paths differ substantially.

## What a run looks like [#what-a-run-looks-like]

You give the mode two or more offers and it scores each one across ten weighted dimensions, then ranks them. The heaviest weight sits on North Star alignment (25%), followed by CV match and seniority (15% each); compensation and growth trajectory carry 10% each, with reputation, remote quality, tech stack, time-to-offer, and cultural signals filling the rest.

# Offer Comparison — 3 roles

| Dimension (weight)       | Acme | Globex | Initech |
|--------------------------|------|--------|---------|
| North Star align (25%)   | 5    | 3      | 4       |
| CV match (15%)           | 4    | 4      | 3       |
| Compensation (10%)       | 3    | 5      | 4       |
| Growth trajectory (10%)  | 5    | 3      | 3       |
| ...                      |      |        |         |
| Weighted total           | 4.4  | 3.6    | 3.5     |

Recommendation: Acme — strongest North Star fit and growth path.
Globex pays more but ranks lower on trajectory and time-to-offer.

## When to reach for it [#when-to-reach-for-it]

Reach for ofertas when you hold two or more competing offers and need a normalized way to choose. It is most useful at staff level, where comp packages and growth paths diverge enough that gut feel misleads.

* Supply the postings as pasted text, URLs, or references to jobs already in your tracker; if none are in context, the mode asks for them.
* Score each offer individually first — with `oferta` or `auto-pipeline` — so the comparison ranks consistent evaluations rather than mixing depths.
* Because North Star alignment is weighted at 25%, a higher salary alone will not top the ranking; a role that matches your target trajectory can outscore a better-paid detour.
