Nice job. I wrote an article back in 2024 around my own personal set of factors (knowledge, meaning, people, compensation) when weighing prospective jobs called the "Conjoined Triangles of Work" you might find interesting.

For me compensation (which includes monetary, vacation, benefits, etc) is only one aspect of the equation.

Nice insights, these factors definitely weigh in as well here. I might expand the calculator to include factors other than compensation as well.
