If you want to share figures (you don’t have to) you might probably want to use a throwaway account, better safe than sorry.

And it will remain in her court.
Just got an email yesterday from a guy who wants to talk with me about a job paying 50% more than what I currently make. No joke.
I work in a very small, very niche field. Jobs are hard to come by, but they pay.
Just take it. Your current place either won’t match that or could have been but didn’t think you were worth it.
Eh, it’s not that simple. It rarely is. There’s always trade-offs. And the job hasn’t been offered to me yet. But I will talk to the man.
Fully agree with this. I’m currently interviewing and have reached the “reward phase” where 3-4 companies are offering me salary & benefits packages. I’ll likely be taking the lowest package with the farthest drive because that work interests me the most and offers interesting travel opportunities. Just a little heartburn on the salary though, but still more than what I’m making now by 15%. But yeah there’s a lot to weigh out.

You should definitely pursue that. That’s how making 40% or 50% more can happen overnight - by simply changing jobs. Of course you’ve got to factor in the extraneous things like commute and child care, but that’s the general rule of thumb. Change jobs every 3 years, make more. It’s statistically proven.
It all depends on the trade-offs. But I’m talking to the guy on Monday.
