The past couple years, there has been a big trend in companies just consolidating higher pay positions. And because of that, it certainly has been a much tighter job market for those higher six figure incomes. A little over a year ago I lost my position at the company I was with solely based on my geographical location. While I was a top performer they made a decision to cut one manager role per territory and in the west with the three of us located in Denver, Salt Lake, and Seattle they felt it was best to remove the smallest populated area. Fortunately, my performance was well known to all the competition and it was not an issue replacing my job, but nobody was able to pay what I was making so I did have to take a pretty-significant pay cut.
That said even with the pay, I’m incredibly happy with the place on that. My work life balance is levels better my daily stress has gone down significantly. Ironically enough a week ago today, my former company called to make me an offer to come back and it would’ve meant probably a $60 or $70 K year pay raise from where I’m currently at but it was a pretty easy decision to turn it down.
So I guess I’m just saying that I think the job market still has lots of potential but it’s probably going to be difficult to replace her entire wage in this market. Not impossible but it might take some time to find the right position.
I think it’s definitely worth the money to hire professional résumé writer. And I think the best way to not waste your time is to reach out to multiple recruiters with your résumé experience and pay scale and let them do the work for you finding opportunities that fit your needs. You don’t pay the recruiters the hiring company does. So when they come across good candidates, they will go to work to get you hired so they can get paid.
