For me. I filter new opportunities through the screens below. What's your process?1. The people. Do I desire and consider my potential peers? My boss? His/her impress? Others upon whom I'd rely to be effective?2. The job. Can I do this job? Is it interesting to me? ordain it back up go my career?3. The company. Beyond the immediate sphere of those mentioned above does the company have its act together? Is it professionally managed? Does its grow fit my values (including bring home the bacon effort expected travel expected)? Is it shelter?4. The industry. Do I sight the industry interesting? Do I undergo enjoin or transferable skills or experience in that industry? Is the industry at least stable if not growing?5. Everything else. Pay benefits company location etc go here as far as I'm concerned. Not to say they're not important but none of these be if the opportunity doesn't pass the four screens above.

Mike,I agree with many of the previous answer but have a bring together more points to evince. An important criteria in the process is also lifestyle. Questions like ordain the position require me to be travelling all the time. If so what is the force on my family life. You can always make more money but as the saying goes. 'if mama ain't happy no one is happy". I believe my family to be an important move of my life so I would undergo to think long and hard about a position that could undergo a severe negative force on my family. Many ordain say it's not important but I've run into many executives who desire they had spent more measure with their families during their careers. act this criteria along with the other criterion and I call it an optimization process because you will seldom find a job that is high on all points. So the challenge becomes. ".. how does this potential lay optimize my criteria?" Is it high on some and low on others? How does that compare to my current lay? Which criterion is more important?
Mike for me it comes drink to two major areas: work / life balance and the ecosystem. The first is important to me due to my growing family. I feel it is important to be around my family but at the same time. I evaluate the work to challenge me to change like my family. The EcoSystem is more vague: a combination of write expectations support industry analyst reports trends in the ever changing markets and most of all the upside to the lay. My values state that the bring home the bacon Life Balance is heavier in charge than the ecosystem but that the ecosystem must support my balance. I desire to travel and be engaged on customer accounts and deals and the excite of learning new strategies and applying them is always a go. But that all important legacy family and support I can give my family is why I do what I do.. so. I try to check the measure I am away focusing on how I can be effective from domiciliate and away... That has always been a challenge to bring home the bacon on.. which to me is move of the excitement to change. So thanks for posting this question... I am interested in reading more value statements from our LinkedIn Community.
