Q: I received a strong offer from a company. The role is excellent, but the company is boring and moderately successful. Will joining a company with a sleepy/mediocre brand hurt my career?

A: When assessing a job opportunity, there are two important areas of inquiry and examination to help candidates determine the viability of a new position:

(1) How will this opportunity help me move forward in achieving my career goals? (2) How does this opportunity align with my values that are core to my personal and professional happiness?
