In the third episode of our podcast series, Mani and I deep dive into frameworks to evaluate job offers. Besides coming up with a framework, it is essential to know how and when to adapt as well as contextualize it.
Would you like to know the three takeaways before tuning in to our podcast?
Know your dealbreakers - Prepare a checklist but know your top dealbreakers to make go or no-go decisions
Start assessing from day one - As we mentioned here, pay close attention to the company culture from day one of the interview process and make note of any red flags that may impact your future with the organization.
Be mindful of your recency biases - Don't fall into the trap of over-focusing on one pain point of your current job and taking the good things for granted. Your new job should be a net positive experience
