You’ve got the job offer. Before you say yes, how do you know it’s actually the right move?

In this episode, Lewis Maleh shares three things to look at before accepting a new role: whether the expectations are genuinely clear, whether the offer reflects your value, and what the culture is really like behind the interview process.

Because getting an offer is exciting. But the job, the package and the people all need to make sense before you make the move.

A quick listen for anyone weighing up a new opportunity or thinking about their next career move.

Remote work gives people flexibility, autonomy and access to opportunities beyond where they live. But it can also create a career challenge that is easy to overlook: visibility.

Doing great work is not always enough if the people making decisions about opportunities, promotions and progression rarely see you.

In this episode, Lewis Maleh explores the career risks of becoming out of sight and out of mind, why relationships and proximity still matter, and what remote workers can do to stay visible, build stronger networks and continue progressing in their careers.

If you work remotely or manage people who do, this episode offers a practical perspective on building a successful career in a more distributed world.
