I’ll make it brief. After two years of running multiple payrolls, my former employer decided to “expand” my role but keep the same salary. I declined and quit. Weeks later I’ve found a job paying me 40% more (putting me in the six figure salary bracket for the first time in my life). Is my life even real?!? Meanwhile, they can’t find a replacement for me because every candidate wants $120K or more.
There are better opportunities out there, no matter what they try to tell you!
