The prospect of starting a new role can be exciting but it is crucial that you don\u2019t let the elation of a job offer blind your judgement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you have multiple job offers or just one, here are few questions to ask yourself before you decide on what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am I Happy with the salary on offer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A recent salary survey found that a higher salary was the top priority for over 40% of people seeking a new job. Whether you\u2019re one of those individuals or not, you need to ask yourself whether the rise or fall in salary would be worth it in the long-term?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In most cases, employers may be open to negotiating salary. A specialist Recruiter will know whether a role is outside of your salary expectations and will advise you early in the process to avoid wasting your time. They will also negotiate salary on your behalf to ensure you\u2019ll be paid what you\u2019re worth and allow you time to focus on other areas, such as the impact this role might have on your personal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What was the Culture Like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you know what to look for, you can gain considerable insight into an employer\u2019s internal culture from the interviews you have had with them. For example, what was the office layout, atmosphere and vibe like? Understanding these elements may help paint a picture of the company’s internal culture, but there are several other questions that may also help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Asking questions, such as \u201chow does this business support your development and growth?\u201d, can really help to get a better sense of an organisation’s values and their team’s engagement. If people struggle to answer these questions, this could be a red flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Will this Role Challenge Me?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A key question you should ask yourself is whether you will be challenged. Recent research suggests that people enjoy a challenging working environment as it provides an opportunity for professional growth by developing new and improving existing skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Varied responsibilities in a challenging environment are important as it keeps the job interesting and adds depth to your resume. Working in a demanding role will demonstrate how you can adapt to change and alter your leadership techniques, which will be attractive to a future employer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a Finance candidate working within Marcoms or Practice sectors and are considering a move, please feel free to email for a chat with no obligation: HelloLondon@simply-360.co.uk or call us on 0203 130 6780<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The prospect of starting a new role can be exciting but it is crucial that you don\u2019t let the elation of a job offer blind your judgement.
