I usually try to check on sites like Glassdoor and the like (we have some local versions in my country) and see their current employees opinions. I also try to find people who worked there on LinkedIn and check how much they stay. If I see a lot of people leaving in less than a year I just run away. If it's a start up I try to check out in specialized sites how well they're funded to check if they have enough running time to give me some stability. It fails some times, but it's good to have an idea on what to expect.

Any advice what you guys consider when changing jobs?
I don't like my current job anymore as it is very chaotic, unstructured and lots of people are leaving. However, people think highly of me and I could get a good salary while having an easy+ safe job. With homeoffice allowed, flexible timemanagement...
Now I got this new offer and it is in a field that is more interesting for me but they are only offering the same salary as I have now, without getting compensation for overtime. Homeoffice will be okay but only after 6 months of probation. I only got to know the CEO and he seems to be cool, but i worry that i might have to work overtime regularly. Also I dont know for sure if the processes will actually be better than in my current workplace. I am still in the beginning of my career so i think i shouldnt stay in the current company for too long but of course i dont want to end up in a place that is worse.
How do you guys make sure you are moving to a better place?
