Why This Matters
Most people evaluate job offers based on salary, benefits, and company reputation—but these factors don't predict whether you'll be happy in 6 months. The questions that actually matter (manager quality, team dynamics, company trajectory) are the ones most people don't ask.
ReasonKit's GigaThink tool forces you to consider these angles before accepting an offer, catching the blind spots that lead to 73% regret rates.
