There are people who I’ve watched make significantly more, but that doesn’t show the full picture. I have a short commute, great benefits, and even some semblance of stability. That is worth a lot to me.
Sounds exactly like me. I had already been working for employer for 10 years then went through divorce. I easily could've gotten a higher paying job with benefit, but I stayed for another 15 years! Then employer retired suddenly and I felt abandoned since I had devoted 25 yesrs to them.
Yes, and the compound math on it is brutal once you see it. There's a huge pay disparity between three percent raises for six years vs. someone who jumped twice in the same period of time. It accumulates faster than you'd think. The good news is that one well-timed move can make up for a lot of those wasted years.
Oh man, that hits hard. You’re not alone at all. So many people wake up mid-career, look around, and realize their friends who bounced around are suddenly making way more while they’ve been steadily climbing the same ladder. It’s like you chose the “safe” route, and now it feels like you paid a price for it. That sting is real.
its a tough call. i really appreciate a stable employment. Theres cost in looking for a better position. Some people now are always scoping out jobs. Theres a tradeoff for sure. Your resume shows longevity and stability. Employers like that too!
Yes I'm in one now
