Episode 3049:
Changing jobs for a higher salary can be tempting, but Philip Taylor argues that money alone shouldn’t be the deciding factor.

Quotes to ponder:
"You absolutely hate what you do; if you don’t, you’re likely to be miserable and just go about the motions because you need the money."
"When you change jobs just for the money, there’s no end to it; you tend to keep job-hopping all your life, flitting like a bee from flower to flower without really gathering anything of substance."
"All things being equal, you need to get the best salary that the market will pay."
