// Considerations Beyond Salary: Decoding Job Offers

Have you ever grappled with the decision to accept a job offer that falls short of our salary expectations? 
Picture this: you've aced the interviews and are gearing up for the final round, but then comes the bombshell—the company can't budge on the salary, leaving you with a significant gap between what you want and what they offer.
So, what now?
First, unpack the entire compensation package.
Next, assess your lifestyle values.  
Then, get honest about your long-term goals. Of course, you must consider your financial implications and what you need to be happy + healthy in this season of your career.  
There's no one-size-fits-all solution here, but by carefully weighing these factors, you'll make the right call for your heart-based path.

// Should I Stay or Go: Heart-Based Career Decisions

Today, we're discussing one of the toughest questions many heart-based professionals face at some point: Should I stay or go?
Imagine this: you're at a career crossroads. That inner whisper tells you something needs to change, but you’re worried and not sure what to do next.  
Join me as we consider three inquiries to support your decision; remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. But by exploring these inquiries, you can uncover the next best step forward.
So, my friends, let's channel the wisdom of The Clash’s famous song: "Should I stay or should I go?" But it's not about the song; it's about finding our rhythm in the symphony of our heart-based careers.
