There are SO many factors that go into making the right next step for your career. There isn’t a right move or wrong move – there is a right and wrong for you!
Identifying Your Career Priorities
Write down what you are looking for in your next opportunity. Be specific.
What are you missing in your current position that you’d like to have in your next position?
What are your main motivators for making a move? Is it a better W/L balance? Is it long-term growth? Is it the right mentors? Team members? Company size? Industry? Better management?? The list goes on and on as to why someone is wanting to make a job transition. What is your WHY?
Whether you are actively or passively looking, make sure that you know what you are looking for.
Understanding Your Why
If you know your WHY, you can act intentionally on creating your career.
If your next offer is fulfilling the main things you are looking for in your next opportunity, a lateral compensation/title move makes sense. It’s not just about looking at the impact in the immediate, it’s satisfying your long-term career plans and seizing the right opportunities to get you there!
