As I said right before I left my last job (luckily I've been very fortunate at my current one):
"I love what I do and I love the people I work with - but I didn't come here for love."
- gxs 5y agoExactly. It’s not leaving for a 30% raise. There is a compounding effect. You’re leaving so that in a few years it’s a 200-300% raise relative to what you’re making now. That said, I don’t begrudge anyone staying for “love”. If you’re happy then that’s great. I’m happiest when I’m at least making an effort to make as much as I can.
- ozim 5y agoWhy not 300% right away? Why would change of company first to 30% make you get 300% later? You don't have obligation to expose your current salary so you can demand 300% right away. If you think you will have enough skills to earn 300% go for it.
- gxs 5y agoThere are other things that go into it: but-in-the-seat time, titles, etc.
- MajorBee 5y agoIf you're spending a full third of your life (half, if you count only your waking hours) working, I would imagine "love" for your work and/or people should play a significant role in your choices.
