I guess those who are born...Hi Kris, good comments. I guess those who are born in the 70's onwards will have this thoughts. I think the first thing on my list is career development, and not being stuck in the rut. This could be moving horizontally (acquire new skills) or vertically (promoted to shoulder higher responsibility), or BOTH is the best. Nothing wrong with these thoughts - since most, if not all, companies's priorities is its stakeholders instead of employees. We are just using company resources as a stepping stone to advance in career. Having said that, 4-5 years of service is the norm in terms of loyalty already nowadays, don't you think? And your point#3 is the bulls-eye of this discussion - esp true for MNC. Once one has acquired the skills, it's skills for trade and it's just the way it is in a free economy.<br />The hard part is the courage to take up a new position in a company with colleague you barely know, once you are older. Stepping out of comfort zone is easier said than done, especially with family. Need to build the network, relationship and skills again,if required. So my take is, need to consider this factor between getting jump-motion increment. Family support is imperative :)LCF Personal Financehttp://www.howtofinancemoney.comnoreply@blogger.com
