Creating a blog out of my discussions with students, friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of my past colleagues, team members and students reach me at times on whether to make the job change or not which is on offer to them. Based on my experience and mistakes, I don’t reply with a YES or NO but rather provide the factors on which they should analyse and decide on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here are the factors we generally discuss in no particular order of priority:
–Glassdoor ratings and comments especially the negative ones
–Salary and CTC
–Benefits like insurance
–Campus
–Travel time from office to home and back
–Job type: Hybrid \/ WFH \/ WFO
–Culture
–Cafeteria
–Travel requirements in the new job
–Manager
–Team
–Growth, learning and other aspirations
–Location
–Investors, Founders and Shareholders
–Job role on offer
–Management
–Bonding and CTC \/ benefits \/ job role in current company
–Customers at current and new company
–Opportunity to work in non conflict of interest area part time
–Discussion with your prospective team \/ manager and some people working in the new organisation
–Profitability, products and services portfolio comparison
–Sustainability and resilience
–LinkedIn Insights<\/p>\n\n\n\n
None of the above are in any order of priority and there are no absolutes. We need to find what suits us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did I miss any major factor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
