Questions about a new job? -

So my brother works in Virginia Beach and he has been with a company for 25 years. He has a bachelor s in business He is friends with the boss and he has an extremely large network of people though business. His blackberry has over 2000 numbers ranging from his representatives to CEO s and owners. He is as high up in the company as he can go. He has been part of the reason why his company is one of the largest privately owned business on the east coast. He is the guy right below the owner, so nobody can be higher then him. Here s the problem: He is only making about $100,000 a year. Here s the question: Would it be reasonable for him to switch jobs, possibly to an executive position at another job within his networks where he could earn more money?|::::|Depends how difficult it is to get a job paying more than $100,000 a year. I d say that with 25 years in his present company, he s got a decent salary and probably relatively good security. If he moves, he might have more money but no guarantees that work would be better, more secure or that he d be happier.|::::|I guess it depends on how important making more money is to him. If he s stayed there for 25 years already then he must loveee what he does. If he was interested in switching jobs he would ve done it already considering the experience, background, knowledge, and people he knows. If he s looking for more money then he can probably ask for a raise, I am sure the company is not going to risk losing him if he s really irreplaceable. I think if he s stayed there that long then money isn t really an issue... he just loves his job.|::::|that s really up to him. i don t see anything unreasonable about it. that being said, if money is the only reason he moves, he may find that he is unhappy in the new job. were it me, i would rather accept a little less money and have a job i know i enjoy. i hope this helps; good luck!|::::|I only WISH I could make that much so quit complaining! :) No really, it depends on how he feels about his job. If it s all about the money, I guess he should get another job to make more. But if he likes his job, I don t see why he would want to.
