Can you run this?
A career simulation

You Have 3 Job Offers. Which Would You Take?

Three companies want you: a big, stable one that pays the most; a startup that pays less and gives you a slice of the company; and a remote-first firm with mentors and faster raises. Pick one, negotiate, then live with it: reviews, recruiters, layoffs, burnout and, maybe, an equity payout. At the end you’ll see how the offers you turned down would have played out.

How it plays

  1. Half-year 1 · The offers — Choose your offer
  2. Half-year 2 · Finding your feet — Make your mark
  3. Half-year 3 · Your first review — Stay, switch or rest?
  4. Half-year 4 · Equity and ambition — Promotion and money

After the debrief, “Keep going — to year 5” continues the run with calendar events, new challenges and opportunities that build on what you chose earlier. Every decision page has a live preview that shows what your picks do to the numbers before you lock them in.

What you get at the end

A debrief with your outcome, charts of where the money went, your biggest mistake and roughly what it cost, and a full report you can copy or save as a PDF. Everything runs in your browser: no sign-up, nothing to install.
