Give me 20 minutes and I'll show you what to do with your life

The first one is the pay.

You're not paid very well.

You deserve better pay.

You work so hard, why are you scraping by and struggling to make it to the end of the month if you work so hard? The pay is awful.

Or the pressure.

You are under volcano-level amount of pressure to get things done at work.

Maybe it's the tight deadlines.

Maybe it's just the amount of workload you have to do.

Maybe it's the working overtime.

This was definitely the biggest reason for me.

Or maybe it's the people, your boss, your colleagues, the people, your supervisor.

You're working with people that don't even know what they're doing.

Your seniors, you don't know how they became seniors.

Maybe the people in one way or another really stress you out, and that's one of the biggest reasons why you literally can't stand your job anymore.

Or number four, this was a big reason for me as well, is the purpose element.

Let's start off with the pay because I do have some tips on this.

A lot of people will just fall into the bucket of like, "Oh, start a side hustle." But actually, I do feel like there's better ways to earn more money if that's a big reason why you wanna leave your job.

First, you have to ask yourself, does your job have more earning potential? What I mean by this is can you actually get promoted within the company? Can you sidestep? Can you get promoted? Can you maybe get a referral, again, within the company, outside the company? Think genuinely, like, is there more earning potential in this job? Do I need an extra qualification? Do I need more experience? Can I skill stack? Maybe I actually don't need to leave or go anywhere, but simply if I have a new skill that I make my boss aware of, like, that will increase my earning potential.

Because if that's the case, then you need to negotiate.

You need to negotiate, and that is actually kinda tough.

I d- I've recently been doing that with my clients where I negotiate pay rises, and it's tough.

It's a whole skill set in itself.

I highly recommend the book Never Split the Difference.

I'll pop a picture up here.

It's a really good book all about negotiation and, like, how to feel confident, like, presenting what you deserve.
