Building a career is more about investing in yourself, creating your value and your brand, as you grow, because it becomes important that your contribution is not only limited to your immediate organization, but also related to the industry you are a part of.
A career is often not about making money, and when the focus is on the right values, the money makes its way in, and in abundance. It may be slower at first, but once it’s tied to your brand, it floods in. Ironically, when people put money at the center of their career, it may flow quickly at first, similar to what a new gambler experiences, but it does. Do not hold for long.
The decision to change jobs is a gamble because it is not known how challenging the future job will be? How much control will the future boss have? How friendly will the future workplace environment be?
Most people leave because they feel there are aspects of their current job they don’t like, a work-life imbalance, or that they’re underappreciated. Many employees face this but the hard truth is that you will not get anything different in the new organization. Every job today comes with long hours, clients abroad, complex requirements, time and budget constraints, blown targets and consequences of wrong assessments.
Even in the new job, you won’t like some of the work, that’s for sure. Moreover, managers are not abstract entities; They are people you will find in abundance who are very task oriented and their likelihood of appreciating you ranges from zero to next to nothing. And that is a fact.
So how to bet? How to make a decision on a job change?
Once you have a clear idea of ​​what you are looking for, you can start researching the companies or organizations that interest you. Find out as much as you can about their mission, vision, values, culture, reputation, products, services, customers, competitors and challenges. Look for reviews, testimonials, ratings, awards or news articles that can give you a glimpse of their work environment and performance. You can also use your network, social media or online platforms to connect with current or former employees and ask them about their experiences, opinions and advice.
If you receive one or more job offers, you will need to carefully compare them and weigh the pros and cons of each. Consider not only the salary, but also the benefits, such as health insurance, retirement plan, vacation time, bonuses, incentives or benefits. Think about the long-term implications of each proposal, such as the potential for growth, learning, development, recognition or impact. You may also want to consider the location, commute, schedule, flexibility or stability of each job. Make a list of the criteria that are most important to you and rank them according to your priorities.
The final strategy is to compare if the new offer is better than the current offer you are working for. Will the work environment of the new offer be better than the new offer and most importantly ‘will you get job satisfaction’?
With a new job comes new tendencies, new challenges and new responsibilities, so people can change jobs but it’s a gamble and as we all know very well, our life itself is one.
