If you get a new job with a 15% salary increase, but travel expenses rise and you need to compromise in the beginning, while also seeing a brighter future after two years of struggle, what would you choose? Stay in the current company and wait for a better opportunity, or move now and accept short-term challenges for long-term growth?

I took a job 5 yrs ago with a big pay bump that I wasnt excited about. I was underpaid then fairly or highly paid. Worst mistake I made... new company was a bad fit. Paid well, but overall not a good place for me.

If the new place is truly worthwhile then take it if you're OK with the short term pain. Try to remember that usually changing roles comes with a 2 yr commitment to really feel it out. So if you're uncomfortable being there for 2 yrs then don't and wait.

Yeah i agree with you thanks for sharing your experience

Just considering the numbers, you probably won't get a 15% raise at your current job without getting a promotion. And if you don't see much opportunity ahead of you at your current job that's something to consider. If you think the new opportunity presents better chances for advancement you might as well deal with the short-term challenges.

Thanks for your advise it will really helpful

If I can see myself staying in that career path for a while, then I would make the move. It also depends on if Yu got a good feeling about the team while interviewing with them.

For sure if we you feel comfortable in work palace then increment worthless

I would move now and accept the challenges for the long term growth. It sounds like it will be the better decision in the long run. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for your wishes

Which one do you feel comfortable with? If you’re comfortable with what you make now then leave it until something better comes along.

I think i have to wait until better opportunity

It depends on the benefits at the company. Will there be a decent amount of time off? What’s the culture like? Retirement benefits? All of those are pretty big considerations for me, so if it were me, I’d also take those things into account for my decision

To be honest, I would ask myself is there a point to move if I’m happy in the current job. How long have I been doing my current job and can I progress. If I can’t, I will definitely take up the new job but will be highly disciplined as to how I spend my outgoings while at work( I would prepare lunch from home and buy my own fav coffee/tea bags accordingly)-budget management. Also read reviews about the company. Definitely go by this quote ‘make hay when the sun shines’.

Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
