The Loyalty Tax that cost #Work #Corporate #salary #compensation #Awareness

You've been at the same company for four years. Two percent raises, three percent raises, and your boss says you're invaluable. But an external hire came in 20% higher than you. That gap compounds you're over year. You're down thousands just by staying put. Here's the play. Because the reality is, the people that shift careers every three to four years out earn their peers. Get an external offer, tell your manager, I just got an offer for 150,000. I want to stay, but that can only happen if the companies will in the match. If they move good, if not, you have the choice of leaving. You might be seeing your loyalty as an asset, but the company don't. Sometimes you got to use switching to leverage like they do. Play the game or get played. Stay cold.
