This coda.io tool, Opportunity DSS (Decision Support System), provides data structures & respective calculations for comparing & evaluating opportunities.
William Cole Thomas
I created this tool to support my own job search journey, and I'm happy to share its value with others! This
coda.io
⁠
-based tool aims to help you manage applications, engagements, and effectively compare various paid opportunities. Navigating the job market can be overwhelming, especially when considering different states, pay intervals, commitment types, and other factors. To address this, I've developed a framework that combines customizable tables, parameters, external data, and calculations to assist in evaluating diverse opportunities. I hope you find this tool helpful in bringing clarity and confidence to your job search, ultimately guiding you towards the perfect opportunity that aligns with your career aspirations and personal goals! Good luck with your search and please see the overview of this tool’s different pages below:
