What Do You Actually Want From Your Job?

Most of us used the wrong criteria when we evaluated job opportunities at some point in our careers. You know what they are: reactive, emotion-driven departures. Being lured by pay without evaluating the health of the company. Taking a lateral move at a company based on a promise that - if we were looking at the situation objectively we’d know—never results in the upward motion or promotion we were promised. The list is long. Then comes this point where you not only see the whole game board, but you stop judging it, which frees up your headspace for objective evaluation and strategic career planning. And that’s when things really take off. Today we’re tackling a listener question: how do you know when it’s time to leave your job?  Join Devin Bramhall and Margaret Kelsey as they examine their own career trajectories to extract the decisions that helped them move up to senior-level marketing roles, CEO and then to successful consulting careers.Short-term versus long-term—what choices will get you closer to your career objectives? Do you even know what you want? Strategic mindset: aligning your career objectives with the organization to accelerate your progress.The crucial role that discomfort plays in your career and how to make it your strategic advantage.Jump into the conversation:04:00 Title vs. salary: what matters more?13:00 Values Influence Leadership Decisions25:30 When Margaret Almost Missed an OpportunityThe TL;DR?
