Or just be liked can be enough.

I got my job at random from a recruiter who reached out. I didn’t like the job all that much but they liked me so I took it. It was a little bit more money in a field I like better, plus it’s close to home.

Fast Forward a few years, I had another opportunity but other side of the city + more money. I approached the owners with what was going on bc I felt comfortable doing so since we had good rapport. Told them about the offer, I dug into it to find I’m under paid a bit so I thought if they could pay me more I’d stay… Ended up getting a significant raise after the talk since they appreciated my honesty and wanted to keep me, and saves me the commute too!
