After the pandemic, the world of work changed. While in some ways work changed for the better, it didn’t stop the Great Resignation. Between 2020 and 2022, record numbers of professionals quit the workplace and sought better work arrangements either with different employers or independently.
While it might be tempting to follow your peers and go searching for better-looking opportunities, here are five reasons why staying in your current job can actually pay off.

Dear Kimberly,
This is a bit of an international question. I moved to Paris to pursue my dream of working in fashion. As a Latina moving to a different continent it has been challenging to compete with native French speakers and build my place in the industry. So far I’ve been successful working for small companies, but burnout comes from working in start-ups. I have too much on my plate. The expectations are way too high, and my paycheck isn’t high enough.
My current job title at a smaller company is quite senior. I am interviewing with a big company now where the pay is better but the title is more junior. Is it worth the change if I have to take a step back in title? The bigger company is more prestigious.
Thank you!

Combating cultural, language, and workplace norms in another country is a huge adjustment to make. A demanding workload on top of that can easily become the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Unfortunately, many start-ups are known for having heavy workloads. When a start-up is in the early stages of scaling, the focus is driving revenue while keeping costs low, which means that your salary may be lower. Is it fair? Not at all. But it’s the reality of many start-up environments until they get to a point where they are able to invest more heavily in their staff.
Now, let’s talk about your potential job opportunity. Titles are subjective in the workplace. A vice-president at one company may be doing the same level of work as a manager at another; it all depends on the hierarchy created within that organization and the title structure they have developed. Early on in my career when I transitioned from financial services to higher education, I worked as an assistant director of admissions at a college in the Bronx. It was my first time having “director” in my title, so I was ecstatic. However, when I looked at the job description, it was really an entry-level admissions-counselor job.

A toxic work culture is the biggest reason why people quit, and it’s 10 times even more important than pay, according to research published in the MIT Sloan Management Review. But what exactly does a toxic workplace actually look like?
Researchers analyzed 1.4 million Glassdoor reviews from nearly 600 major U.S. companies and found employees describe toxic workplaces in five main ways: non-inclusive, disrespectful, unethical, cutthroat, and abusive.
“Employees can have hundreds of different criticisms about their organization that they discuss on Glassdoor,” from IT problems to clueless management, says Charlie Sull, a researcher on the analysis. “Most won’t have a powerful emotive effect on their assessment of the organization, but we’re looking at a small sample of topics that do have a large effect on a company’s Glassdoor rating.” Those same factors can cost companies billions of dollars in employees quitting.

Never mind reading generic guides or practicing with friends — Google is betting that algorithms can get you ready for a job interview. The company has launched an Interview Warmup tool that uses AI to help you prepare for interviews across various roles. The site asks typical questions (such as the classic “tell me a bit about yourself”) and analyzes your voiced or typed responses for areas of improvement. You’ll know when you overuse certain words, for instance, or if you need to spend more time talking about a given subject.
Interview Warmup is aimed at Google Career Certificates users hoping to land work, and most of its role-specific questions reflect this. There are general interview questions, though, and Google plans to expand the tool to help more candidates. The feature is currently only available in the US.

A few years ago at a company picnic, I joined a handful of colleagues helping to haul boxes of sandwiches and soft drinks through the park. All of us had signed up for this manual labor a few days prior, back at the office. And all of us, it turned out, were women.
The gender imbalance of the picnic crew felt representative of a larger dynamic that I’d seen play out throughout my career. When a request for volunteers went out, women often seemed to be the ones who shuffled their schedules accordingly.
Out of sheer curiosity, I asked a couple of male co-workers why they hadn’t helped carry items for the picnic or responded to some other recent calls for volunteers. None of them had anything against the idea of helping in theory, they said. They’d just thought, I’m too busy.
I’m too busy. It’s a seemingly innocuous thought that can wind up having major consequences for equality in the workplace, as a report from the nonprofit Center for Talent Innovation shows.

It can be such a deer-in-headlights, panic-inducing moment. You’ve spent weeks scrolling through job listings, (ruling out most of them), selecting a few that fit your background and career path, tailored and tweaked your cover letter ten times, and finally gotten a bite from a hiring manager at a company you’d love to work for. Not five minutes into the nebulously-named “introductory conversation” (which is really just a screening call) they nail you to the wall with, “And what are your salary requirements?”
It’s a tricky spot—we must find a diplomatic reply that keeps us in the running without shooting ourselves in the foot with a low number. As a job seeker, it pays to be prepared with a savvy answer that keeps you in contention for the position while still securing the highest number possible.
How to research what a position pays
First, as annoying and backwards as it is, you must research the market and salary ranges for your position. Companies want to see that you’ve done your homework, and you’re generally aware of what the position will pay. As the HR consulting firm Robert Half recommends: “Check out reputable sources, such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for federal data on wages in your industry. Also, review the 2022 Salary Guide From Robert Half to get the average national salary for the position you’re seeking.”

Job interviews are a two-way process — you’re interviewing your potential boss and employer as much as they’re interviewing you. After all, you don’t just want any job — you want the right job. According to a CareerBuilder survey, two-thirds of workers say they’ve accepted a job only to realize it was not a good fit, with half of them quitting in the first six months. There are several reasons this could happen, including feeling like you’ve been sold a false bill of goods or a realizing that the culture is not consistent with your values or even toxic.
The saying “caveat emptor” — buyer beware — applies when interviewing for a job. This isn’t to suggest that you should go into the interview process overly skeptical or suspicious, but rather to encourage you to be attuned to potential red flags in the interview process that warrant your attention, as they can indicate larger issues with your potential boss, team, or the organization as a whole.
