How does one decide to take risks and apply for news job when the state of the economy and the world is ever changing. We know salaries are going up, but employers struggle doling out the cash. Is it better to stick where you are or jump into something new?

As a job coach, I recommend that if you are not comfortable with your position and your pay, you should strive for new positions, and yes, I am encouraging you to apply for a new position, come on, you can do it.

Agree! It might be tough but there are opportunities out there

You can often negotiate yourself a higher wage by applying for jobs somewhere else. Depending on your field, jumping to other companies can be a quicker way to land a raise than waiting to get promoted at your current workplace

This is one of the hardest things to figure out in today's economy, "fish or cut bait." It largely depends on your skillset and if it is marketable in your current location (including remote opportunities of course). If you take a few skill/job interest tests that might be able to steer you in the right direction. Chances are you won't find your dream job anytime soon (most of us don't), but you can probably find something that uses your skills and wouldn't make you miserable on a day-to-day basis. Best of luck my friend

Hi ,

I have 3 years 11 months experience as of now. Technology stack - Java, Spring, Rest API, Angular. Current CTC - 6 lakhs. How much % hike I can ask for in Amdocs ?

Title on here is out of date but I’ve got over ten years agency experience as a digital producer, highest level being EP and then Executive Director. Feeing underpaid compared to what I hear about client side (current base 110k, 15% bonus + commission)

I’d love to shift to client side as EP or Program Manager and looking for advice on best way to get my foot in the door.

Feels like I’ve got the same experience as those in the roles but submitting an application thru sites is like shouting in
