How to use this sheet-->

Make a copy for yourself and edit!

Note: pink cells are for filling in, blue cells will auto-fill
Edit categories for what is important to you. The overall categories are ~universal but the sub-bullets will likely be specific to you. Do your best to ensure sub-categories don't overlap.

For example, you'll notice that I don't include any money-related sub-categories in "Lifestyle and Flexibility" even though money is a significant contributor to lifestyle.
Weight each sub-category according to what things are the most important to you. I left my personal weighting in here so you can see how the model works.

For example, you'll see that to me, mentorship and learning is the most important thing to me in a job. You'll also see that it is almost 3x as important as lifestyle.
Use this column to gut-check relative importantce of different cateogories and sub-categories.Fill in the pink cells with a score of 1-3 for Company A and then Company B according to each sub-category.These will auto-fill according to your importance weighting in column C. Then, compare scores in cells G/H22 to get your winner!
