Seems like the job market isn’t so great right now? Recruiters/HR have been telling me that they can’t afford me when I share my salary expectations and what I need to make a move. I’m literally just sharing my exact base pay and how it needs to be matched or more for me to leave.

Yeah, companies hate it when employees can eat, house themselves and save for retirement…. Must really cut into executive compensation, especially with all that outsourcing. Go figure

Lots of bargain hunters out there but the ones who are serious will match what you’re making now or go a little bit higher. Companies are tightening budgets and a tax department with clout will make sure they get the candidate they want instead of the candidate they are budgeted for. If the tax department has no clout then it’s going to be a dumpster fire so you’re better off waiting for something better.

Yeah, market is down compared to 2-3 years ago. So when I tell recruiters how much I make now it generally stops the conversation.

Yeah job market sucks. You have to decide what's worse. Staying at a job you want to leave or potentially taking a paycut. And then you have your answer.

It’s interesting how ambition can actually be a bad thing. I want to make tens of millions and impact millions of people and leave a big legacy.

And then I also think “well dang if I want to accomplish all these things I should be further by now” which that isn’t good for mental health either. I wish I was content with less
