You and I both know people don't make moves solely for money. And I think if you find yourself in this situation, you really got to take a deeper look at all the other factors around your current career placement to decide, hey, is this just disappointing and we need to suck our thumb for a couple minutes and then get back at it?

Hi, this is Stephanie Moss. I was recently driving into the office. Honestly, I was rocking it out to the song, Should I Stay or Should I Go? I think it's by The Clash. But it got me thinking about some recent conversations I've had with candidates in the marketplace. And they were basically asking me, hey, I'm not really happy in my current situation. What do I do?

Think about the song from Kenny Rogers. You got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away. Imagine that playing in the background right now. And here's what I mean.

And as we were dialoguing, the other thing that I was really impressed by in his thought process is he said, hey, I know where I'm at isn't perfect. I need to take a few weeks and really decide what would be better than what I have now. Before I even get out and interview, I need to know what's important to me.
