When assessing a company, look for these mile markers

When evaluating whether a startup has a promising trajectory:

• Pay attention to the investment cycle - who has invested, how much, who's leading the round, who's leading another round?
• Keep an eye out for movement in the C-Suite.
• Find out how the particular role you’re looking at fits into the company’s growth trajectory. For example, are they investing in cloud and security? Is there global expansion happening?
• You want to see if people have been growing in their careers at a company that’s at least a couple of years old.
