They make moves for things like a better commute. They make a move for better location. Now, you may say, well, commute and location are kind of the same thing. Well, it can be, but it could also be, hey, I've got aging parents. I need to be closer to them, and that involves a relocation. It could be advancement.
Now, some of my boomer clients might be thinking, oh, this next generation, all they want to do is climb the corporate ladder. Actually, that's not true. They don't even believe in the corporate ladder. They believe in the corporate lattice. So advancement for them is often defined as going sideways or diagonal.

It could be going up, but basically for them, it's an addition of a skill or an opportunity to make a bigger impact on the organization. Absolutely a reason for making moves is their management. That's critically important to them. Are you being a good leader? Are you an advocate in their success? That's super important. Remember the old adage, people don't leave organizations, they leave people.

So please stop, take the time, connect with your people, recognize what they do, and and show them your appreciation. Yes, money is another reason, but it's not just for the sake of money, but it's understanding what does the money mean.

For example, I recently worked with a candidate who at home, they were pregnant with their second child and really wanted to make a transition to where the wife could stay home and be a full-time mom. So for them, money was important, not for the sake of money, but how that was going to impact their home life. Another thing that is very important is security.

At this day and age, M&A is rampant, especially in banking and the commercial finance world. finding a place where either, hey, I'm very open to moving somewhere where they may get bought. That could be a great win or a payout. Or, hey, I really don't want to be in that situation. I want to go to an organization that I know probably isn't going to get bought in the next year or two.

Hi, this is Stephanie Moss. Today I want to talk to you about a really great way to make a decision. The biggest challenges that we are seeing in the hiring market today, there's actually quite a few challenges. One of the biggest ones is what I'll call analysis paralysis. Everybody is so afraid of making the wrong decision. They make no decision, which is 100% of the time the wrong decision.

Everybody is so afraid of making the wrong decision. They make no decision, which is 100% of the time the wrong decision.
So let me walk you through a couple of ways to make sure that you can make a good decision regardless of what the actual decision is. Recently, I was in a quandary about making a decision, and candidly, it was driving me nuts. I really couldn't decide, do I go this way? Do I go that way? But as long as I was in that process, honestly, I was a little nutty.

And then I remembered some sage wisdom from Vistar Miyagi and the Karate Kid. and it helped put things in perspective. Here was his advice. Grape, left side of the road, okay. Grape, right side of the road, okay. Grape in the middle, squish. As long as I stayed indecisive, it was making me that. I needed to make a decision and move on.

The reality is most of us are not making life and death decisions every day. We're just not. And as long as we stay in that middle of the road, we're miserable and usually we make those around us miserable. So my first piece of counsel is go with your gut. Most people in hindsight say, oh, if I had just gone with my gut, that would have been the right thing. That's what you need to do.
