A worked example

See how Kanso helps you weigh the offer

1 · The opportunity

A promotion

  • Higher salary
  • Broader remit
  • More say in the work

ButThe manager says evenings are common and priorities often change at short notice.

You still don't know which decisions would be yours or how much extra time the role would need.

2 · Five of your answers

What matters here

Base salary
This is a reasonable standard
Growth
This is highly important
Autonomy
Truly essential
Work-life boundaries
This is highly important
Leadership
This is a reasonable standard

What could fitThe broader role could support growth and autonomy, if more say means real decision-making room.

What needs checkingFrequent evenings may strain your boundaries, while the manager's role may affect how much control you actually have. The pay rise alone doesn't settle either point.

3 · Use your results

What you need to find out

  • Which decisions would be mine, and which stay with the manager?
  • How often does work continue into the evening?
  • When priorities change, what comes off the list?

Why the answers matter

The answers might reveal genuine growth and autonomy, or a bigger role with less control and longer hours. The salary increase is only part of that decision.

When Kanso can help

Use it when a career decision is close enough to matter

You're considering an offer

The role looks good on paper, but you are not sure what you would be giving up.

You're questioning your current role

Something is not working, but you cannot tell whether it is temporary or a reason to leave.

Your role is changing

A new manager, wider responsibilities or a policy change has altered the job. You need to know what to protect.

What happens in five minutes

01Rate the parts of work that matter to you

Consider pay, flexibility, autonomy, feedback, leadership and the other conditions that shape a job.

You rate each condition separately. You cannot mark everything as a top priority, so your answers show what you would actually put first.

02See what you need and where you have room

Your free results show what you rated highest, which priorities may pull against each other and where you have more room to compromise.

Use this to see the trade-offs before you accept an offer or decide whether to stay in your current role. The results are based on your answers, not a personality label or job-fit score.
