(highlight:: Next, come up with the major factors you want to assess for every option. These should reflect whatever priorities you have for your career as well as considerations that would make you strongly prefer one option over another. A few general factors that we think are worth considering include:
• How much could I help others or improve the world in this path?
• Would I be an especially good fit for this?
• How satisfied would I be with the day-to-day work?
• How much career capital and skills could I gain in this?
These may not be useful factors for everyone, and they’re certainly not the only ones to think about.)

(highlight:: Here’s a few examples of other specific factors that may be unique to your criteria:
• Would it be intellectually stimulating or engaging enough for me?
• How much of the job/career path would be spent doing X task?
• To what extent am I actually interested in this work or the particular problems it tackles?
• Does this allow me the kind of work life balance I’m looking for?
• How much does this opportunity align with the cause areas and issues I find important?
• How much would this path require me to change my life or current trajectory?
• How much does it suit my ideal work environment?
• Does this meet the salary range I need?)

- Identify the top options you want to consider and further investigate
- Decide what considerations you’ll assess each option by
- Make some sort of rating system to assess these considerations for every option
- Review whatever system or structure you come up with)
