Do you love your day-to-day tasks at work, but the pay is too low? You’re not alone. Maybe you enjoy your job and your coworkers, but it just isn’t enough to keep you around for much longer. This can feel overwhelming and leave you feeling confused about what to do next. It’s important to consider all of your options and to put yourself first in this situation. This blog will show you five next steps you can take if you love your job but hate your paycheck.
Whether you have a job, are between jobs, or lost your job, it’s normal and very common to want to reevaluate your career path. The thought of redirecting the entire trajectory of your career can seem completely overwhelming, and there are many reasons as to why people even begin to reevaluate their careers. Before taking the plunge or making any decision, remember to take a deep breath, consider all your options, and ask yourself the hard questions.
Unfortunately, we’re seeing many unstable workplaces in the new year—holiday unemployment, job changes, layoffs, and downsizing are all common and current workplace challenges. If you’re in this boat, or you’re feeling anxious about these rocky times in the workforce, you aren’t alone. With several layoffs occurring—especially across tech, media, finance, and retail—in 2023 and the beginning of 2024, it’s normal to feel anxious.
