magnificent. Visitors can stay in a lodge that is run by the park or camp
with their own equipment. However, visitors should be careful. Even

READING 3
If there’s one thing you can count on as you travel along your career path,
it’s that you’ll encounter some challenging decisions along the way—and
the choices you make can have a lasting impact on your professional
journey as you move forward.
While at your current job, you’ve been either an active or passive
candidate for other positions and at some point, a new offer comes your
way. It’s like reaching a big fork in the road on your career path—do you
choose to hold on to your current position or take a leap and make a
change? What factors should you consider when weighing your options?
For almost everyone in the world of work, salary is one of the primary
variables when deciding on a job. You can use salary as a point of
comparison when weighing your current job against a potential new one.
Does one offer a significantly higher salary than the other? This calculation
should include both immediate salary and long-term potential salary. Are
the salaries for both jobs in the same ballpark? If so, then move on to other
important variables to help you make up your mind.
Many companies offer benefits packages along with salaries as an
incentive to join their teams. Use these perks to help you decide which
opportunity suits you best. Everything is fair game—from insurance to
bonuses and vacation time, tuition reimbursement for furthering your
education, and even retirement planning benefits should be on the table.
Again—weigh everything, and consider both your immediate and long-
term needs and plans.
In addition to more tangible factors like salary and benefits, make sure
you consider all of the intangibles that impact your work life. Think about
things like the environment and culture of the company, along with your
relationships with the people and teams you currently or will potentially
interact with – because in many ways, these affect your day-to-day work
life as much as money and benefits.
