What if your company gave you what you wanted...

Would you still look for another job?

Sometimes we interview because we are looking for more money, and I have no problem with that. However, more often than not, the root cause for why we are taking that phone screen is because of something more intangible like a bad boss, a confining territory, or stagnation in our current role.

What if, instead of searching for a new role, you simply asked for the thing that would keep you there? Sometimes nothing can solve the problem, but what if they gave you that raise, or that new territory or promotion? Would that keep you around?
