Job hunting: $125,000 earners vs. $60,000 earners

What’s the difference between someone who makes $60,000 a year To view this email as a web page, [click here]() {NAME}, “What’s the difference between someone who makes $60,000 a year and someone who makes $125,000?” To find out, I sent out a survey asking my subscribers how they landed their current jobs and what their income is. Here's a breakdown of the key differences I saw: For 5-figure earners: - They are 30% more likely to use job boards. - They are 60% more likely to express dissatisfaction in their jobs. - They applied on average to 10 or more different positions before landing a job. For 6-figure earners: - More likely to use referrals, recruiters, and informational interviewing to find a job - They stated they invest considerable time in researching salary ranges and company cultures. - They spent time tuning their interviewing skills before meeting with hiring managers. - They are 2X more likely to negotiate salaries and 4X more likely to set up bidding wars.

My favorite part of the survey was actually the answers to this bonus question: "What's the most important thing during a job search?" From the $50,000–$99,999/year earners: - A lot of people in this group express uncertainty and a lack of direction. - Staying open to opportunities and being genuine during interviews were considered important. - They advised against revealing salary expectations upfront and focus on fit with the company. Now, let's compare with $100,000+ earners: - Making connections and building a strong network was crucial to this group. - In-depth research is a must, including understanding company needs and industry shifts. - They stressed the significance of asking thoughtful questions during interviews. - They recognized the value of showcasing relevant experience and valuable skills. Here were my key takeaways: #1: Lower earners often feel stuck in a job they “dislike” #2: The 5-figure earners don’t know how to land better jobs (they tend to go through the “front door” using common job sites) #3: Higher earners are much more likely to use their networks and negotiate their salaries It’s clear if you want a better job, you need to focus on the deeper levers to get the outcome you want.
