Job hunting can be a life changing moment. Something that will, literally, affect the rest of your life. If only because salary increases compound over an entire lifetime of working.<p>In other words, a $10k increase in salary might not seem much but it will add up, and not only will raises compound as well but future jobs will start at a higher negotiation level as well.<p>Of course, spend your time wisely but I think it&#x27;s really short sighted to think &quot;I&#x27;m happy at my job, I am going to completely block out all the recruiters out there&quot;.
