Part 2/9:
Since 2017, the speaker has switched jobs multiple times, accumulating a wealth of knowledge along the way. The motivation to leave a job often stems from dissatisfaction with colleagues, processes, or overall workplace dynamics. However, the speaker emphasized that every workplace presents its own set of challenges; transitioning jobs often means merely swapping one set of problems for another rather than escaping them entirely.
Despite these challenges, the speaker's financial growth has been significant, with a base salary increase from $55,000 in 2017 to over $170,000 today. This progression is attributed to years of experience, respect earned within the industry, and improved negotiation skills that have allowed him to better advocate for his worth to prospective employers.
