It often times feels cool to land a job at a "hot company". But I think it's even cooler to: - Work for a great Boss - Work in a great team - Learn new skills - Have time with family - Not work weekends - No evening emails Let's focus on great places to work. And not only chasing shiny logos & awards. Remember this and your career will be a lot better for it. --- PS.

Marco, totally agree! It's easy to get caught up in the hype of big-name companies, but at the end of the day, it's all about where you feel happy and fulfilled. I've found that smaller teams with great leadership can offer more growth opportunities and better work-life balance than some 'shiny logo' corporations. Plus, who doesn't love having weekends free? 😊
If a job doesn't give you the opportunity to learn new skills, it doesn't pass a great job.
This is so true! A company might look good on paper, but it's the people and culture who truly make a difference at a job. Having great bosses and leaders is soooo crucial to career growth and opportunity.
Hey Marco, I couldn't agree more with your perspective on what makes a job truly fulfilling. It's not just about the company's reputation; it's about the people you work with and the opportunities for personal growth. Finding that balance between work and personal life is key to long-term happiness in any career.
It’s important to define your non negotiables and interview the interviewer to understand the culture. I had an informational interview once and mentioned for me heart centric leadership was really important. His eyes kind of glazed over and there was an awkward silence. So I thanked him for his time.
Absolutely agree, Marco! It's easy to get dazzled by big names, but real job satisfaction comes from having a supportive environment and work-life balance. Think about how much more productive and creative we can be when we're not constantly stressed or working late hours. Kudos for highlighting what's truly important!
Absolutely, Marco! Working with a great boss and team makes all the difference.
Every career is different. Make the most out of it

1moI would agree, that's the ideal type of job. I would take the learn new skills part a bit further though. I would say learn new skills, take on new challenges, and take on new responsibilities. I just feel that if the role that you're in doesn't help you grow as a professional - if you just end up doing the same thing day after day ad infinitum, then eventually it's gets stale and you end up unhappy with your job.
