Should I stay or should I find a new job? |
I've been in the mortgage industry for over 10 years. I am very good at my job and I get paid accordingly. Recently the market took a hit and my bosses have approached me about renegiotiating my salary with promises of when things pick up compensating me accordingly. I've heard this before and no matter how good this are they're never good enough to fullfill a promise. I have 2 kids and I am the major breadwinner in my family. I don't feel like I can get buy making any less. I do love it here, i like the people, the fact that I am 10 minutes from home, the flexability they afford me when it comes to time off or emergencies. But I do the work of 3 people, I come in early, I stay late, I come in on weekends, I take calls at home in the middle of the night and to be honest I could go somewhere and make the same and not have to do all this. I just don't know. I'm scared I'll end up someplace I hate and regret my decision. But if I accept and stay and they don't come through? You just won't know until you know. What you need to do is brush up your resume and have a couple informational interviews with competitors and similar companies near you. You may find if you work a reasonable work day that a 30 minute drive to another company will give you more time with your family. Your company has a business to run, and they can't be personal about your life. You are giving way too much of your time to accept a pay cut. If you decide working extreme hours and taking a paycut is a better option after an interview, then stay where you are. |
