So sometime in your career you will have the very flattering moment when someone you’ve worked for in the past wants to hire you away.\u00a0 If you already have a job, this becomes riskier\u00a0because you’re leaving to go somewhere else…so you want to be wise. A couple of things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n
1. How do you feel about your current situation?<\/strong> Gut reaction? Is there opportunity? Do people treat you as valued? How do you feel about the work you’re doing? Do you trust your boss? You should have a pretty good idea since this is your current situation…you just have be careful you’ve got a realistic view.<\/p>\n For me, who I work for and the type of work I do drives my satisfaction. How much I get paid and whether or not I’ve been promoted is more of a negative influencer<\/em>: no one wants to feel like they’ve been taken advantage of.\u00a0 If you’re really unhappy, this might be the time to right the wrong…as long as you are seeing things clearly. Remember the frying pan and the fire!<\/p>\n
