The end is in sight: Evaluating and accepting offers Like everything else in the process, there are standards and etiquette that the insiders know. How are you supposed to learn them? We’ll tell you. When you evaluate an offer, take into account the salary, benefits, geography, advancement potential, corporate culture, and opportunities for further education. When you accept an offer, you have to let everyone else know that you’re off the market. How do you do that with tact? Accepting an offer should not be done lightly. Once you accept, you have an obligation to fulfill. So be sure it’s what you really want. Career Services can give you the guidance to handle any situation that comes your way.
