What framework do you use when assessing a new opportunity at a different company?

Question

My answer is actually not revenue ops specific. But here are my answers:

1) Growth- the rising tide lifts all ships. The higher the growth rate, the more opportunities you will have to scale the business and grow your career in parallel.

2) People / culture - make sure you like who you are working for / with and how work is being done

3) Role - what exactly will you be doing? Is this aligned with your skillset / strengths / interests?

4) Industry - tech vs. non tech / actually product function and buyer type. D2C vs. B2B. These all have trade offs and you have to decide what you want.

I don't think you can be pick about all four categories but the first two are my most important ones and then I usually prioritize #3 over #4 but everyone has a different calculus on what's most important to them.
