Leave Money on the Table or Make a Career Change?

Throughout my career changes, it always seems that when I decide to start interviewing that I begin to get the most demo's and positive feedback/next steps within my opportunities and expansions. Is this just me or do others run in to this as well?


When you've decided enough is enough, do you stick to finding your next move no matter what money you may be leaving on the table or have you stuck it out? If you've stuck with it, have you seen the reward of those opportunities and demo's closing or have you regretted not moving forward with offers from new companies and find yourself back at square 1 in the interview process?

Stick it out until you get something on your own terms. Unless you are facing the risk of termination.ย

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. I would not leave unless it is for an opportunity that is a true fit and that I can see myself succeed in.

I've always found that most pastures appear greener, just to be the same shit in a different shell.ย  If you've put the time in, and things are just starting to turn into positive momentum, ride it out - you'd be surprised how much you can learn.ย ย

I appreciate the feedback. I agree the anything can appear greener from the outside and you don't know until you are in the seat. I am one that looks at multiple factors for a reason to look outside of my company, as growth/advancement is definitely one of them that I weigh.

As tough as it might be, you should leave from a position of strength not of weakness.ย  If you're toying with the idea of leaving then there's more to it than just not enough deals- if you're totally happy there outside of pipeline then double down and work your ass off to find some new pipeline.ย 

A friend has been on and off interviewing and is always asking if this next company is the one, my response is- you can't make that decision until you have an offer. So if you're interested in seeing what options you have- interview and get some offers. You don't need to decide until you see it then you can accurately decide which is more financially incentivizing for you; ie leaving money on the table in pursuit of higher pay, better solution to sell, or sticking it out with what you have.ย

Totally agree @peteypabloย I work on the mentality that you should never take an intro call or learn more about an opportunity. Even if you feel you are in your dream job and company, that one you don't respond to may or do and learn about may in actuality be your dream job.ย 

Just like with an opportunity, nothing is closed until you you a signed PO, similar to a new job until you have the offer in hand.
