There’s hardly been a better time to get hired with almost 11 million job openings in the U.S., a near-record high level. In November 4.5 million Americans quit their jobs — pushing the country’s quit rate to a 3% record high.
“Should I Stay or Should I go?” is more than just the title of The Clash’s top-played song. It’s a burning question on the minds of millions of Americans who are in a pickle whether to stay at their current job or go to a different one.
On the flip side, before you prepare to jump ship at your current job consider that you could also be in a great position to get a raise, especially if other colleagues have quit recently, said Jeff Hyman, CEO of Recruit Rockstars, a Chicago-based online recruiting company. And even though you may get a pay bump from switching jobs, there is a good chance that “you may find you made a big mistake.”
And if layoffs are on the table in the future keep in mind that companies tend to follow a “last in, first out” policy where newer hires are the first to get fired, he added. When to leave If you’re strictly interested in getting more money immediately, your best bet is to accept a new higher-pay job opportunity, Hyman said.
