Week 5

 For my job Joe Tech, If I would have accepted the inital offer for my score sheet I would end up with 35 points, for the revised I would of had 42 points, and for the offer from 4Comm I would have 70 points. 

The differences between each offer is that they keep going up as you go on. The inital offer was cleary not enough and the revised offer was a lot better. The offer for FourCom was clearly the best offer but was the last option due to the risk of taking the job. I do belive that the difference in the scores does reflect my present feeling in class but there are also other important details that are not listed such as career trajectory, stock options, and job assignments. I don't think I would change my score sheet because I had the higher number of points based on how important each point is. For example, position was the most important in the negotiation so it had the most points and the points get lower as you go down. I do think that other issues should be included based on the value for taking the different jobs, there should be more points given for getting the job at the main company your want instead of the other options. 

I thought that this exercise was very useful because it applies to the real world. There might be an oppertunity to get a job that looks better on paper but might not be the best in the long run and potentially negotiating a job at a company that you want to work for to get better value has real world value.
