Open Le Chat and start a fresh chat
Open your web browser and go to the Le Chat website (chat.mistral.ai). Sign in with your Mistral email and password. You’ll see a clean white chat window with a text box at the bottom and a “New chat” button near the top-right corner. Click the “New chat” button; a fresh conversation pane slides in and the cursor blinks in the text box.
If the button looks different on your screen (for example, it might be a plus-sign icon or simply the words “Start new chat”), look for the same meaning.
Copy the key details from each offer into plain text
Open the first job offer in your email or PDF viewer. Select only the most important sections—typically base salary, bonuses, work hours, leave entitlements, notice period, and any special perks. Copy the selection (Ctrl+C on a computer, long-press → Copy on a phone). Repeat for the second offer, keeping the two chunks separate on your clipboard. Back in Le Chat you’ll see the empty text box ready for your first prompt. If you cannot copy from a PDF, use a free PDF-to-text converter or type the details manually. 💬 Example: *“Offer A: $95,000 base salary; 15 days annual leave; 1 month notice; $5,000 signing bonus.
Offer B: $92,000 base salary; 20 days annual leave; 2 weeks notice; 3% profit share.”* You'll know it worked when the copied text appears in the box after you paste (Ctrl+V).
Ask Le Chat to build a side-by-side comparison table
With the two offer snippets pasted into the text box, type a clear instruction: “Create a side-by-side comparison table in plain English for Offer A and Offer B. Include salary, annual leave days, notice period, bonuses, and any other notable perks. Avoid legal jargon.” Press Enter or tap the send arrow. Le Chat will start typing a response that usually begins with a markdown-style table and then bullet points summarizing the contrast. If the assistant replies with a single paragraph instead of a table, simply add “Show it as a table” to the prompt.
Review the table and ask for missing rows
Look at the table Le Chat has generated. Each row should correspond to a contract element (salary, leave, notice, bonuses, etc.) and each column should contain the figure or phrase from the respective offer. If a row is missing (for example, “profit share”), type a follow-up such as “Add a row for profit share details for both offers.” The assistant will update the table accordingly. On some devices the table may appear as plain text rather than a rendered grid; if you see vertical bars (“|”) and dashes (“—”) instead of a visual grid, that’s still the correct markdown format.
Copy the final comparison into your notes
When the table looks complete, click the three-dot menu (or right-click) on the response and choose “Copy message” or “Download as text” depending on your browser. Paste the copied result into a notes app, email to yourself, or print it out. If the copy option isn’t visible, you can manually select the whole response and press Ctrl+C (or long-press → Copy on a phone).
Double-check the numbers against the original offers
Open the original offer documents again and compare the figures in your notes with the source. If anything looks different, paste the discrepancy into Le Chat and ask for clarification: “The original Offer A PDF shows $95,000 base salary, but your table shows $92,000. Which is correct?” Le Chat will usually point to the exact line in the text you pasted earlier. If the mismatch remains, paste the relevant paragraph again and ask for a corrected table.
the numbers in your notes match the original documents.
Decide with confidence
With the plain-English table in hand and the numbers verified, you now have a clear snapshot of the two offers. Take five minutes to weigh salary, leave, notice, bonuses, and any other perks against your personal priorities. You'll know you're ready to decide when you can confidently say which offer better supports your lifestyle and goals.
- Copying the entire PDF instead of the key points – the assistant may get overwhelmed and miss important details. Fix: only copy salary, bonuses, leave, notice, and perks.
- Using legal-sounding wording in the prompt – Le Chat might mirror that jargon. Fix: ask explicitly for “plain English” or “simple language” in your first instruction.
- Forgetting to ask for a table – you may receive a paragraph of text. Fix: add “show it as a table” or “format as a two-column chart” in a follow-up prompt.
- Not verifying the numbers against the originals – a small typo can change the outcome. Fix: always compare the final table with the source documents before deciding.
Open Le Chat, paste the salary and leave figures from one of your current job offers, and type: “Summarize these numbers in simple language.” In under two minutes you’ll see how Le Chat turns raw numbers into an easy-to-understand sentence.
