I like my job, but I’d leave for the right position/compensation.

I try to interview once per quarter, at least.

I’ve started adding some tough questions, like asking how the average annual increases compare with inflation and COLA. Most interviewers turn into a 13 year old telling a girl they have a crush on them – all of the sudden 0 confidence.

That’s when I tell them that for the circumstance, my compensation ask is going to be quite high.

I also tell local employers that my “in office” ask is literally 5x pay. They always balk and say somethi g like “yeah that’s not gonna happen,” to which I say “Tell me about it!”

Everyone should interview more. Declining a good offer because you like your situation more feels like doing cocaine.
