Do You Need to Switch Jobs to Make the Money You Deserve?
Whattup, job seekers! We see you working hard to make the world a better place. You take care of everyone, but who takes care of you?
Whoa, that got way too deep there for a minute. Let’s dial it back. We don’t know what’s going on in your personal life, but we’re gonna make a pretty safe assumption: you could use more money. How do you increase your income without taking on a billion side hustles and selling feet pics?
Some money experts say that getting a new job is the best way to earn a substantial raise. We’re here to tell you if that’s really true.
The short answer is yes, most of the time. According to science, in 2023, job switchers made around 10% more at their new jobs, whereas those who stayed put and asked for a raise at their current job got about 5% more.
But let’s say you actually like your current job and don’t want to go anywhere. You’ve accrued time off, the schedule works for you, and your team is awesome. Do you have to give that all up to earn the money you deserve?
Maybe not, but you should still apply for a new job.
What the heck? Here’s the deal: a new company will offer you your market rate, which is likely higher than what you currently make (depending on how long you’ve been at your current company).
With that job offer in hand, you can go to your current employer and ask if they can match that salary. If they say yes, HOORAY. If they say no, you can still ask for a raise and a plan to get your salary up to your market value over the next few years.
If you really love your job, incremental raises over time may be worth it. If your company isn’t into that idea, then you still have a job offer to fall back on. And hey, maybe you’ll actually want to take that new job!
