Apples to Oranges - Evaluating Money and Opportunities
Show Notes

Sometimes you find opportunity, sometimes opportunity finds you.  This holds true when it comes to job opportunities, too. Sometimes you find the job you are looking for, other times it finds you by way of a headhunter or an industry connection that reaches out to you. But how do you evaluate it? The money? What?

I see many make the money mistakes – saying “no” without full understanding the “money” and saying “yes” because the job paid more than another.
 
 Comp plans and quotas are seldom the same company to company. Perhaps with direct competitors, but in similar spaces or ancillary markets, things are not as black and white as you might think.  Things become apples to oranges instead of apples to apples.

And when it comes to evaluating opportunities whether you are selectively looking or have been forced into the job market, my exercise in a previous episode is a must do   I encourage you to listen to this episode before or after listening to this one.  https://www.buzzsprout.com/2138795/episodes/12332399
