Changing Jobs? Don’t Compare Salary Alone

Candidate Insights | Career Decisions

A larger salary can make a new opportunity attractive, but compensation is only one part of a career decision.

Consider the whole opportunity: the role and what you will learn; the manager you will work for; the company’s stability and direction; progression opportunities; culture; location and flexibility; and the total package, including benefits and incentives.

The best career move is not necessarily the job offering the highest number today. It may be the opportunity that puts you in a considerably stronger position three years from now.
