Compare offers on scope, leadership, the state of the estate and your next move before you compare money. Price both packages like for like, test each boss and each building properly, score what matters to you, and choose the role you would still want if the pay were equal.
Choosing Between Two FM Job Offers is a practical guide for Facilities Management and estates professionals who have more than one offer and need a sound way to decide. It argues that salary is the easiest thing to compare and the least reliable guide to a good role.
