When creating this tool, I relied on one core insight: the biggest mistake when job hunting (especially when in a rush) is 'number blindness.' People often focus only on the annual salary but forget to evaluate the cost of their time. My advice to candidates—before starting a mass search—is to accurately calculate your 'Real Hourly Rate.' If a new job offers a 5,000 euro higher salary but adds an hour of commuting every day and removes the possibility of remote work, your real hourly value might actually decrease. I created my website so that people could see the painful truth in seconds: whether that 'good offer' will actually improve their life, or just add more stress and time on the road. With this figure in hand, negotiations go faster, and unsuitable offers are rejected immediately, saving weeks of fruitless travel to interviews.

What’s the biggest "hidden cost" you've ever ignored in a job offer?

e've all been there: the gross salary looks amazing, but then you realize the commute is soul-crushing or the "extra hours" make your hourly rate tank.

I'm building a tool to help people see through the headline numbers, but I m curious what was that one factor you overlooked that made a "great" job offer actually terrible? Was it the commute, the missing benefits, or something else?
