Stephanie Moss

The second date isn't where you reveal, oh, hey, by the way, I'm so glad we're meeting again. Here's all my baggage. It's just not going to work. You want to be smart, but again, it is the time when you can kind of be a little bit more relaxed. What is critical is that you ask good questions that show you heard what was said in the first one and you're following up.

Hope this helps and good luck on your interview.

Hi, this is Stephanie Moss, partner with Thinking Ahead Search Firm. Today, I wanna talk to you about recent experiences I've had working with folks in the marketplace who candidly were quite happy in their current situation But they had noticed because they had been with their current organization, their compensation had become incongruent with what the rest of the market was bearing.

Oftentimes, what most people think is, hey, I'm 20 to 25 percent less than my peers or recent hires. I need to go out and get a counteroffer. to make sure I get another offer from another organization, tell my current organization about it, and that's the only way that I'm going to get caught up.

And I have really been counseling a lot of folks that this really is not the most professional way to try and get congruent. In fact, the most effective way is actually to go to your current manager, let them know how happy you are, and that the fact that you enjoy what you do, you like representing who you work for, you know, is the reward for you.

But

you have noticed that you have become, because of that loyalty, incongruent with the market from a compensation standpoint. That is a much better approach versus threatening, backing them into a corner, saying, hey, if you don't match this, I'm going to leave. And quite frankly, let's face it, you are happy. You like where you're at.

People don't make moves for money, nor should they, unless they are grossly underpaid. So if you find yourself in a good situation, but you are incongruent with the market, don't go out and get another offer from an organization. That's a waste of your time. It's a waste of their time. And it puts your current employer on the defensive. Instead, have a sincere conversation.

Let your employer know you are happy. and you're proud to work there, but you've noticed you're incongruent and you want to try and get congruent to continue being happy.
