The more we are aligned at the highest level of what drives us intrinsically and where we get our energy, the easier it is to figure out the small stuff. If you tick 90% or more of these points then there is a 99.9% chance you’ll love working here and benefit from huge professional and personal growth!

• [ ] You are driven by real, measurable outcomes and not ‘busyness’. You are zero fluff in how you work or communicate.
• [ ] You love learning new things and actively work on your own self-growth (books, podcasts, courses, hobbies...).
• [ ] You pick up new things and connect the dots very, very quickly. You can spot new angles for value-creation no one else has thought of. Then you roll your sleeves up and make it happen.
• [ ] A great day for you is shipping tangible, high-grade, real work. No one in AstroLabs “just reviews” deliverables from other people (we’ve actually interviewed and immediately rejected people that said this). We all ship real work every week.
• [ ] You enjoy figuring things out and you work autonomously without someone else hand-holding you. You’re curious and look for new and better ways to achieve outcomes for less effort.
• [ ] You love to challenge, especially when things don’t make sense. Time wasted or activities that don’t lead to clear outcomes in line with your goals are painful for you.
• [ ] You take extreme ownership for your patch and you make things happen. No excuses.
• [ ] You actively want and seek out feedback. You know it makes you better. If you mess up, you take blunt feedback, learn from it and this doesn’t dent your self-confidence. You don’t hesitate to hold your team mates accountable and give feedback.
• [ ] You have very, very high standards of quality and you work fast.
• [ ] You get frustrated when things don’t move. You hate bottlenecks and you never allow yourself to become one. “That’s not my job” is not in your vocabulary.
• [ ] You do not entertain office politics or gossip.
• [ ] You like to have a balance of deep work that has high impact, as well as having coffee / chatting to your team / going for a walk / having a bit of fun as life is too short to be serious all the time!
• [ ] You have structured thinking, you are logic- and metric-driven and you are ruthless about protecting your time to work on outcomes that matter. You might have read the high output management framework.
