Comment on Ask HN: How do you decide what's worth working on?parent

I tried that. It didn’t work out for me. Politics, organizational instability, bad executives and a never stopping pager are all insufferable. It kills the very thing, the entirety of joie de vivre that is the main reason for making money.

Now choosing job is a multi-variable analysis for me. I pay more attention to the executives.

How do you figure out anything about them? You can't really tell from an interview right?

Mainly Blind, LinkedIn and searching. After an offer is made and if you’re taking time to decide, recruiters often sets up a meeting with an executive to talk to you.
