It can be easy to think about the job title or responsibilities you want, but then what?
Three important categories (besides the work) to think about during your search:
1. People (this is your boss, your team members, your internal/external clients):
👩🏽🤝🧑🏻 Who will you be working with?
👩🏽🤝🧑🏻 Are you looking for a big or small team?
👩🏽🤝🧑🏻 What qualities does your ideal boss have? Lots of meetings? Leave you alone unless you need something?
👩🏽🤝🧑🏻 Team collaboration? Or left alone to do your work quietly?
2. Pay (this is your actual paycheck, sure, but also perks, benefits, bonuses):
💲 What are your salary requirements?
💲 What are your benefits costs?
💲 What about vacation? Hours?
3. Place (this is where you will be):
🏢 Does the company product/service/mission matter to you?
🏢 Does the commute work for you? Do you like to telework and, if so, will that be an option?
🏢 Is it important to you to be in an urban area with coffee in walking distance or is a suburban get-in-your-car-to-pick-up-lunch place good for you?
🏢 What does the office look like? If it's open plan, will you work well or be distracted? If it's all offices, will you be lonely?
What would you add?
