Are you getting cost of living raises that beat inflation recently? How do I negotiate for those


get a new job every two years, spend the first year working hard and the second year getting a new job


"get a new job every two years, spend the first year working hard and the second year getting a new job"

but you just assuming the vacancies position stayed the same which is never happen


No, you are not applying for one target job, but one target promotion, the company is less important compared to the promo path and often times you can do things like get a promo and come back to your original company with 200% the salary.


Find another buyer willing to pay you what you want.


I think that's much harder in an economy with routine layoffs, so my point is that a lot of the working population is already taking pay cuts every year they can't leave their job, yeah?


Easy, be a low-wage worker. Their gains outpaced inflation since COVID.

Or, even easier, just be a capital owner, instead of a wagie. (/s)
