How do you find that balance between feeling happy in your current job vs. desiring to do more / make more? Feel like I’m conflicted and it’s preventing me from choosing a path to follow

I feel happy in my current job because it allows me to be happy in my personal life. Chasing after a promotion or higher salary also means more stress and less time with my family. I think being content with the career you have often requires you to look at why you have a career in the first place.

Do you mean do more and make more in your current job or look for another job where you can make more? It's always hard to negotiate more at your current job so if you are not making enough....you should seek opportunities. If the job pays decent and money isn't a thing, you should allocate time to enjoy life more...also there are other ways to make more money...stock market.

Hi all, I have about 7 years of professional experience but only one year as a Customer Success Manager. I work on mid market accounts currently. I love my job, but would prefer to support a more robust platform that will allow me to add more value for my customers.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on what compensation you might expect for a CSM transitioning to a new company with one year of experience.

To clarify, I don’t have an offer yet, I’m just looking to make a move.

Thank you!

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
