Understanding your workplace priorities through the CACC framework helps you evaluate potential employers and find the right fit for your career goals.

• Culture assessment requires asking direct questions like "What kind of culture can I expect on your team?"
• Follow up by asking if that culture is unique to the team or reflects the broader organization
• Honest answers about organizational challenges often signal transparency and integrity
• Challenge evaluation should be tailored to your specific role and personal preferences
• Engineers might ask about involvement in problem-solving versus implementing predefined tasks
• Product managers can inquire about roadmap development and strategic input opportunities
• Autonomy discussions often yield inaccurate responses, so seek input from peer-level employees when possible
• Ask specific questions about decision-making processes and approval chains
• Compensation should be discussed early in the recruitment process, typically during initial HR screening
• Consider stating your current compensation while expressing flexibility based on the overall opportunity
• Use the powerful interview question: "What's the question I should have asked you but didn't?"
• The ultimate power move: end your interview with "Can't wait to see you Monday!" and act like you already have the job

Remember, you spend a significant portion of your life at work—make sure it's somewhere that aligns with what truly matters to you.
