My Values And Their Salary


4 Comments

How to attract best talent? What is my next job like? Salary is a huge factor but not the only one. Would I work for tons of money doing job I hate? For me the answer is "no". I turned down few big $$ offers, no regrets. I did so since offered job or the culture did not resonate with me enough. Values represent what I am, it represent what organizational culture is like. It must match. These are my current values.

  • Be on the edge – constantly learn and research, never stop learning. Self improvement is never ending process.
  • Loyalty – know your alma mater’s strengths and weaknesses. Be honest with the customers for both.
  • Share the knowledge among the team and with the customers – do not keep anything under my sleeves.
  • Provide first class service – strive to exceed your customers’ expectations.
  • Look for new opportunities – be thirsty to explore new challenging horizons. Doing the same is boring.
  • Optimize processes – internal and with the customers, save on logistics and other non-productive activities. Focus on results and less the processes.
  • Invest in high ROI activities – be impactful.
  • Open discussions – establish shared vision.
  • Flat organization  – no bosses and reports, only team players and roles and their respective accountabilities.

Recruiters – make sure to review it before calling me, potential candidates too.

    My new boss told me “Aim for the stars. If you don’t quite make it chances are you will have still hit the sky!”. Cool, huh?
    W/r to the post – I live and breath it, no joke. That is why I love my job. That is why I turned few offers down lately.
