The best career conversations start before a vacancy appears. Knowing what matters to you makes it easier to recognise a worthwhile opportunity.
Name the work that matters
Think about the systems, products and problems you want to work with, not only the title you want to hold.
Bring your context
Share the environments where you have done your best work. Technical depth, project stage and team culture all matter.
Ask useful questions
Use a conversation to understand the work, the people and the scope of a role. The right move should make sense beyond the first offer.
