Outside of the demands of your role, the biggest thing that will make a difference to your overall satisfaction and happiness at work is the culture of the company you’re joining.

“If you have previously worked in a bad work environment or been bullied at work it’s important to get a feel for the company or organisation before you work there,” Ghosh says. “What are your working hours like? Do you want to be working evenings?”

If you come to the conclusion that the job will affect you and your personal life (for example, if it’s normal to work overtime or unsociable hours) then Ghosh recommends doing some extra reflection.

“If you feel that the demand of the work will affect you and your personal life, ask yourself: is this a job you really want?” she suggests. “Also, if you have a chronic health condition, consider whether there is a way you can work flexibly without compromising your health.”
