work.ke will not invent a salary number where the context is missing. This page gives you the questions that make an offer easier to understand, compare and discuss.

A professional reviewing an employment offer

A useful conversation

The offer is more than one number.

Good questions are not awkward. They protect both sides from assumptions and help you decide whether a role fits the life and work you are building.

Before you accept

Four checks
worth making.

01

Start with the full picture

Ask whether the number is gross or net, how often it is paid, and which regular costs or benefits sit beside it.

02

Compare like with like

A title alone is not a benchmark. Scope, seniority, working hours, location and responsibility change what a fair comparison means.

03

Ask the practical questions

Clarify probation, review points, leave, insurance, equipment, travel and the expectations that are not captured in one salary figure.

04

Get the offer in writing

Before you resign or commit, make sure the role, pay, start date and key terms are clear in a document you can read carefully.

Use the offer conversation to decide with clarity, then find the next real opportunity.
