How Much More Salary Is Enough to Change Jobs? Calculate Your Job-Switching Premium
The Walk-Away Number: Salary Negotiation From Strength by TJ Walker
Episode notes
How much of a salary increase should it take to convince you to leave a good job? Ten percent may sound attractive until you calculate the uncertainty, benefits, relationships, and stability you are giving up.
In this episode of The Walk-Away Number, TJ Walker explains the job-switching premium - the additional compensation required to justify taking on the risk of a new employer. You'll learn why total compensation matters more than base salary, why professionals who genuinely like their jobs should demand a higher threshold, and how to establish your minimum number before a recruiter asks.
The goal isn't to demand an arbitrary raise. It's to price the risk of changing jobs intelligently.
