Are You Prepared?

When it comes to looking for a new job, the first step is often the hardest. The truth is that your current employer will probably be happy to see you go—and that's okay! It's not about them—it's about what you want for yourself.

Before making a transition, take time to reflect on your values, passions, skills, and career aspirations. Ask yourself "what's in it for me?"

Then consider what you're looking for in a new role: salary? Location? Company culture?

Lastly, be an effective negotiator. Shoot for everything you can.
