Hi! I am starting a new role where I will be responsible for building a technique to evaluate future opportunities where the company should invest. How do you evaluate new opportunities and define the criteria for prioritization?

SWOT + competitive analysis helps understand your true strengths and how you position yourself in the market. Combine with overall business goals and strategy - where does the company want to go. Obviously Awesome by April Dunford gives a very simple positioning framework - once you know how to position yourself to build on your strengths the strategy for product is very clear. I also like Blue Ocean Strategy.

So just had my first Amazon interview interaction the other day and its BS.

Why would you make people waste so much time on your stupid assessments before asking expected salary range?!
