Job change decisions are difficult to make. Should You take a particular job, is a gut wrenching question at the best of times. From my experience of counseling friends and ex colleagues I have created a 3X3 matrix on two factors :
Company - Brand, Culture, Values etc.
Job - Role, designation, compensation, benefits etc.
There are 3 layers of decisions.
The high-high situation is rare. If you get it, take it!
The medium layer is more complicated.
- High Company- Medium Role could give you a stable career opportunity.
- Medium-Medium is okay if your current situation is negative and you need a landing place to build upon. You can always improve your role through individual effort.
- High Role - Medium Company is a practical option for ambitious career transitions, move to the next level.
The last layer, Poor- Medium/High combinations are for people in difficult situations. The poor-medium combinations should be taken only in desperation. The high- poor combinations are also short term options.
Hope this helps!

5yVery well articulated Maneesha ! You are best in that. I being worked one third of my 3 Decade career in public sector, I always wonder why people change the Job then may be what part. In our country public sectors have the most structured, stringent hiring process and still the attrition is minimum actually they do not measure that . Globally also my findings are the same with some of the big established names across the industry. People say employees do not leave companies but bosses bla bla bla . But bottom line is what is the need for change which the organisation is not able to provide. Is it an organisation concern or employee concern to make job change decision ???
