If you are looking to change jobs, decide what you want to get out of a new opportunity before you begin your search process.
Top 3 questions to ask yourself before starting a job search:
- Are you driven by increased compensation, or willing to compromise dollars for things like flexibility to work remote?
- Have you considered contract and contract-to-hire opportunities that may be more lucrative and assist in career transitioning, or are you only willing to consider full-time roles?
- What compromises are you willing to make for employers who want you in an office two to five days per week?
