The Top of Minds Method: Principle 5
The days that everyone wanted to be CEO at a large multinational are long gone. Start & scale-ups are just as popular as corporates.

Principle 6: Use your mission

Purpose is the new core of compensation and benefits. Yes, financial remuneration, flexibility and holidays are still important, but nothing is more profound in terms of personal priorities as purpose.
The employer who is the highest bidder in professional purpose wins the heart of the best candidates.
