Built Job offer Analyzer Tool - Would love your feedback
How I Built an AI Job Offer Analyzer for India (and Why I Needed It)
Every year, thousands of engineers in India accept job offers based on CTC alone.
I did the same.
And later realized:
My “12 LPA” offer felt great on paper
After tax, rent, and daily expenses — reality was very different
That experience pushed me to build OfferCheck — a simple AI-powered job offer analyzer focused on the Indian job market.
The Problem: CTC Is Misleading
In India, job offers are confusing because:
CTC ≠ take-home salary
Variable pay inflates numbers
Cost of living varies massively by city
Market benchmarks are rarely transparent
Most people ask:
“Is this offer actually good?”
But answers are scattered across:
Tax calculators
Salary blogs
Reddit threads
Excel sheets
I wanted one place to sanity-check an offer.
The Idea: One Tool, Clear Answer
OfferCheck analyzes:
Take-home salary (post tax)
Market comparison for role & experience
Real cost of living by city
All in under 2 minutes.
No signup. No fluff.
Tech Stack (Simple & Practical)
I intentionally kept the stack lean:
Frontend: React
Backend: Serverless API
AI: OpenAI (prompted for structured analysis)
Hosting: Vercel
SEO: Static content + calculators
Security: Rate limiting, server-side AI calls
No fancy architecture — just solving a real problem.
What AI Actually Does Here
AI is not guessing salaries.
It helps:
Explain trade-offs clearly
Combine numbers + context
Summarize decisions in plain English
Think of it as:
“A rational friend who understands salary math and the Indian job market.”
What I Learned Building This
1️⃣ Distribution Is Harder Than Building
Code was easy. Getting users is not.
2️⃣ SEO Takes Time
Even with good content, Google trust doesn’t come overnight.
3️⃣ Simple Tools > Fancy Dashboards
People just want a clear answer.
What’s Next
Planned features:
Offer Score (out of 10)
Shareable results
Negotiation suggestions
City-wise salary benchmarks
