How long have you been at your company and what is it that gets you to stay? I've been at my company for 8 years and I stay because of the people.

That's an impressive amount of time! It sounds like you've got a really good team there with you, which is super important. I've been at my company for almost three years, and honestly, I don't really know why I've stayed this long. I don't particularly love it there; my coworkers are fine but not extraordinary. I think I am just afraid to go job hunting again, if I'm being honest.

I've only been at my company for about 7 months. Last company was 3 years and previous company was 3.5 years. I'm planning to stay now since culture is great, pay is decent, coworkers are awesome and PTO is awesome at 6 weeks

I've been here for 4 years. The pay is fine and my coworkers are nice enough. The real reason I'm staying is because I've got two kids under three years old at home. Things are hectic enough as is right now without trying to change jobs.

Been there!

I've only been at my current company for six months but I'm planning on staying for the long-term. I really like the culture in the vibe, and I respect my boss. She's super knowledgeable and always follows up with everything she says she will. The pay isn't great, but I've been assured there are growth opportunities. And the benefits are really good. These days, that's all you can really ask for!

Glad to hear!

How do you best leverage a job offer when you don’t want to leave? In the running for a VP job (higher level than now) that pays $70k higher than what I currently make. I want to ask for more money, but don’t want them to see me as a flight risk or that I am not loyal anymore. Or my bigger fear is they’ll say they cannot offer me any more and then I feel like I have egg on my face. Any tips for delicately balancing this?

How many ME jobs did you apply to before landing your current position?

Do you typically apply to jobs that you have are missing some of the qualifications for? For example: Is it acceptable to apply for jobs where you have 70% of the qualifications? Where is the % threshold of not getting considered?
