Picture this: you have a good, fun, stable job that you know you won't lose, but the pay could be a tiny bit better and you're offered a new job that promises similar benefits to your current job, but better pay.

Would you take the risk of changing jobs in this current job market?

Yeah, of course. Your pay equates to how much your company values you. A company that pays more will always value you more.

Hmmm.... I would consider staying at the current job. Maybe ask for a pay raise. 🤔 Is the other job somewhere promising? Is the retention rate good? Are the benefits better? How are the hours etc? Is it everything you want? Look before you leap.

If I had no concerns about the stability of the new company, I would go for it. More money in the bank is more security if you do get laid off, and there is no guarantee that your current job is any safer than the new one.

That’s the real question

There are so many variables. But really, how better is the pay? Probably not for 5%, maybe for 10%, absolutely at 20% unless there are serious red flags.

Hey guys, so I have competing offers. One at Bank of America for 124, and one at Allspring for 110.

Does anybody work at Allspring? They did not provide any information regarding benefits, 401k match, or any annual bonus structure. I was told, verbally, that the Bank of America bonus is something like 15 to 20%, but nothing in writing.

Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge about compensation structure at Allspring, or any opinions on the culture there. I would be in Charlotte.

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
