Find the right team
Find the right team
If you find the right team to work with, the work offers good empowerment. Find someone who can give you an honest opinion about the L8 and their style before accepting a role.
Too much unnecessary focus on being visible and vocal.
You must enjoy expressing yourself via docs, which is not a bad thing though.
Be honest about team size and growth prospects with the candidate, even in this tough economic climate. People come over with different stages in their career, so this is important.
