Thank you Dwight Lawson for putting it together and the Pavilion/Revenue Collective team.

4. Never choose a job based on title or comp. Choose based on what outcomes do you want to drive?
5. What can you learn from this job? What stories do you want to be able to tell in a year or two?
6. Choose your narrative. What you have taken from each of these job moves?
7. What’s your lesson from that? Owning your career narrative understanding the outcomes you drove. Hiring based on those who are intentional about these decisions.
