What part of this job offer is actually dependable?

Separate fixed cash from variable pay, equity, clawbacks and switching costs. See an expected-value scenario and a downside case without pretending either is a prediction.

The modeled downside remains above your current fixed pay and uncertainty is relatively contained. Verify all written terms before treating the result as decision-grade.

Evidence boundary: confidence percentages are your scenario assumptions, not Jobiba predictions. Equity value can be illiquid or expire; variable pay and clawbacks depend on written plan terms. This tool does not predict employer performance or recommend accepting an offer.

Read the plan documents

Variable targets, payout gates, vesting, exercise windows and clawbacks should come from written terms—not recruiter shorthand.

Stress-test uncertainty

Reduce variable/equity confidence to see how much of the headline package disappears when uncertain components underperform.

Carry switching costs

Notice recovery and new work/commute costs belong in the first-year decision, not in a separate mental spreadsheet.

Offer-risk questions

Why not compare offers by CTC alone?

Headline CTC can combine fixed cash with uncertain variable pay, joining bonuses, equity and benefits. Jobiba separates these so you can inspect a scenario rather than treating every rupee as equally certain.

Does Jobiba predict my bonus or equity value?

No. You enter confidence assumptions yourself. The tool uses them only for scenario arithmetic and never presents them as a forecast.

How does the clawback stress test work?

If the number of months you are stress-testing is shorter than the entered joining-bonus clawback period, the downside case treats that bonus as exposed to repayment.

Should I accept an offer if the downside is positive?

Not automatically. Role scope, manager, stability, benefits, tax, vesting, contract terms and personal priorities still matter. Use the output to identify questions and negotiation points.
