What to check in the written offer letter before resigning
Before you submit notice at your current job, verify that every verbal promise appears in the written offer: exact base pay, bonus target and payout conditions, equity vesting schedule and cliff, healthcare waiting period, remote or hybrid attendance expectations, and background check contingencies.
Once your written offer is signed and contingencies are cleared, you can draft your formal notice with our Resignation Letter Builder.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why compare effective hourly pay instead of base salary alone?
A role that pays 8% more in base salary can end up paying less per hour worked once you account for five fewer vacation days, an unvested or discretionary bonus, a daily rail or parking commute, and an extra five hours of expected weekly work.
How should I enter multi-year equity grants or sign-on bonuses?
Enter the annualized value you expect to vest in your first 12 months. For example, if an offer grants 24,000 in restricted stock units (RSUs) vesting equally over four years, enter 6,000 for the annual equity field. Treat a one-time sign-on bonus separately so you do not mistake a Year-1 payment for recurring annual pay.
