Hey there,
Â
Sooo…
Â
I’m finally answering one of the most important questions I get:
Â
“Katie, there are tons of job openings out there… how do I find the perfect one for me?”
Â
There are two answers to this.
Â
ONE: If you need a job right now—just focus on getting in.
Â
Switching to your perfect job is much easier once you’re already inside corporate.
Â
TWO: If you already have the skills and think, “I deserve the perfect job!”—use my 4-part checklist to find it.
Â
âś… Salary Matters
Â
Let’s be real—salary is always a priority.
Â
So what’s a decent salary in Corporate America?
Â
🔹 Beginner? Aim for $50K+🔹 Intermediate/Switching? Aim for $80K+
Â
If it’s below these numbers, negotiate or keep looking.
Â
âś… Growth Potential
Â
Many people ignore this, but it’s critical.
Â
Ask yourself:Â Where will this job take me in 3 to 5 years?
Â
If you don’t see any upward growth in this role—it’s better to move on.
Â
âś… Company Culture
Â
Even if the job itself looks perfect, check if the company is the right fit.
Â
🔹 Some companies operate with extreme pressure and long hours.🔹 What one person calls a “dream job” might feel toxic to you.
Â
Sooo…
Â
Always check company reviews and management feedback before making a decision.
Â
âś… Does It Align With Your Goals?
Â
This is super important.
Â
Just because a job pays more doesn’t mean you should take it.
Â
Think about where you want to be in the future.
Â
If you choose a role that aligns with your long-term goals, you’ll build experience that helps you transition smoothly into your dream job.
Â
Now you know my 4-part checklist for finding the perfect job.
Â
Use these when you start job hunting, and you’ll land a role that truly fits.
