Ask HN: Would you use a better tool for comparing jobs?

I'm thinking about how to apply more data and analysis to life's more difficult and long-lasting decisions.

One simple example is in comparison of jobs. It's relatively easy to compare jobs on their merits today ... but, there's not a simple way to extrapolate how a job may affect you in 2 yrs, 4 yrs, etc.

A quick-and-dirty mock-up is here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1HoFnbpJVA0lagQLXo_xQb8pM8Z9amYUtvYYcEls9tb4

There are infinite shades of gray when it comes to decisions like this ... but would you use a tool like this if it existed?
