    I’ve changed companies 4 times in those 8 years. I’ve changed industries twice. Food -> banking -> medicine. Trust me, my lack of funds is not from a lack of motivation and effort

      Sorry I didn’t mean to sound like I was imply you were lazy. I’m really speaking from the position of someone who had to convince themselves changing gears was necessary before doing so. And absolutely glad I did.

      That being said, one of the easier things to negotiate when leaving a job for another is getting a raise at the new company. “I like my current job and only want to leave for the right opportunity. It’s hard to justify that if I’m not seeing a significant pay bump.” That’s where I’ve seen some of my biggest pay bumps.
