WSJ Your Money Briefing · Want to Advance Your Career? Try Reconnecting With Your Old Boss · 8 Nov 2024 podcast

If it's someone that you joked with at the water cooler or had lunch with from time to time, but not every day or every week, maybe twice a year, that would be like an extended contact.

And an acquaintance, that would be perhaps like a one-time vendor or a source.

That could be annually or just around the holidays.

So it really depends on the level of contact you had with them in your business relationship.

I would not take it personally.

And the issue is that we are all very busy.

And sometimes people miss the email or they meant to respond and it's in drafts.

But the other thing is move on after maybe two or three tries.

It could mean that the person just doesn't want to talk with you, but it also just could mean they're just overwhelmed and they don't have the time.

You would think so, but the pay bump for switching jobs has collapsed to its lowest level in years.

The gap has narrowed between the pay bump that job stayers get and the pay bump that job switchers get.

The payoff is just not as quite as robust as it used to be.

And so you're not seeing that advantage that you might have had in the past where the pay bump you got would automatically sort of cover any expenses or increase in expenses that you have.

One thing they often don't think about are the benefits.

And mainly, people should really think about when they're negotiating or they're interviewing the total compensation, not just the pay or the dollar amount, the salary, but benefits.

the whole total compensation package, and that includes benefits.
