Mira must weigh two very different job offers.

The idea

Compare what each opportunity offers and what it costs.

Read the text

Mira received two job offers on the same day. One job paid more but required a move to another city. The other job was nearby and offered training in design.

Mira wanted to save money and also stay close to family. After comparing both offers, Mira chose the nearby job. The lower salary meant saving slowly, but the training promised new skills.
