Something strange happened. Recently I switched roles and companies for a good raise and better work culture. I am happy at my new job. The satisfaction of leaving the old job and getting a pay raise quickly just by switching companies (after waiting months with no progress on a raise at my old job) is addicting. I cant stop thinking about looking for new positions just to keep improving my salary. Has anyone felt the same and what did you do in your situation?

The fastest way to get a better job is to get a different one, granted there are some places out there where you can stay at the same place and be paid for it. My only words of caution would be to look at not just the salary, but other factors as well, and be weary of a sorted employment history that could impact your chances.

I suppose there's no harm in thinking that way. But while you pulled off a great move, I think reason dictates that you can't do it too often. What made you look attractive to a candidate no doubt becomes attenuated if you're staying at jobs very briefly. I guess you could try to move on in that fashion every few years, but trying to do it with more frequency would probably not be effective.

Hi everyone. I'm in the process of building a SaaS startup. Someone with SaaS experience has advice on marketing the product for B2B?

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke. They need to contract with an educator that specializes in testing and assessment to come in and develop exams that actually measure if you know the material. The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.
