- We saw a lot of job changes made and counteroffers taken between 2020 and 2023.
- If you’re one of the people who made a move, it’s a good time to take inventory of how it’s going.

- You should talk to a recruiter before you need one. The best time to look for a job is when you already have one.
- WHY NOT?
