Framework 1: How to Choose Where to Work

Choosing where to work should be evaluated with the same rigor as making investment decisions. Evaluate company-market fit, considering metrics, traction, burn, valuation, strategy, business model, competition, and customer satisfaction. Assess person-company fit, emphasizing contributing to a winning team over position. Consider day-to-day responsibilities, team dynamics, attrition rates, and reasons people stay. Evaluate person-problem fit, considering long-term commitment, skills needed, industry alignment, and belief in personal excellence in that domain. Writing a career memo analyzing opportunities across these dimensions can help make informed decisions.
