How to Decide What Job You Want
Summary
- When choosing a job, look for one that gives you more of what you like and less of what you don't.
- Don't overcomplicate the decision-making process.
- Avoid taking a job that increases both the good and the bad aspects, as it can lead to dissatisfaction.
- Be cautious of choices that seem to offer more benefits but also add unwanted responsibilities or stress.
- Strive for an environment with fewer negatives, which can bring a greater sense of freedom than having more positives with drawbacks.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting by making a simple list of what you like and dislike in a job or personal growth opportunity. Put the things you enjoy at the top, and the things you don't at the bottom. This will help you see clearly what's important to you.
Then, when looking at new opportunities, match them against your list. Pick the ones that have the most likes and the fewest dislikes. This will keep things simple and focused.
Remember, it's not just about getting more benefits; it's also about less stress or responsibilities you don't want. So, a good way to use your time is to look for that sweet spot: an opportunity with a lot of what you love but not a lot of what you hate.
If you're feeling stuck, think about the negatives you can cut out. Sometimes, just getting rid of downsides can make you feel freer and happier than adding more positives. So, always keep an eye out for ways to reduce the negatives in your current situation.
Lastly, don't rush your decision. Quick choices might lead to more problems. Take your time. Think about how each option fits with your likes and dislikes. When you find a job or growth opportunity that feels right, you'll know it's the one with fewer cons and more pros.
By following these steps, you'll make choices that really work for you, without needing lots of time or money. This way, you'll move toward a job or personal milestone that brings you more joy and less stress.
