Now Hiring

Now Hiring

Being in the corporate world for almost 8 years now is kind of exhausting at times especially when you’re working for the same company all throughout your career. Doing the same thing over and over again. Sometimes you will realize is this all worth it. You have to consider also the career growth you can achieve outside your current job. I have noticed most high paid individual came from external hiring meaning even though you were promoted the company will just a give you a percentage increase from your basic salary. Newly hired still have the best option for salary package negotiation. So why stay in a company for so many years if you can always transfer to a new job and getter better salary. Well first, you have to invest on your expertise. You can only achieve this after 2-3 years of extensive training on the different aspects of your job. Most employers usually prefer experienced staffs so as to minimize training cost .Secondly, your retirement package. There are companies that offer an early retirement after 5 years of employment but most of them offers after 10 years. Third, connections. Every day, you will meet different people from other organizations/groups especially if your work involves dealing with third party customers. If you have all of these, I think you will have a better shot in finding better job opportunities. After 8 years with my current employer, I think is now time to explore a new environment outside my safe zone. I was able to negotiate for a much better remuneration package for a much prestigious company plus I will be able to get my retirement package. Yes, I have already build relationships already but still you have to move on. I can always make new friends and can still get in touch with my former colleagues. Finding a new job is easy but finding a better job is usually having the right timing.
