Danielle and Genevieve are back with a few updates - Season 2 starts on August 30th!

Genevieve goes over popular reasons for leaving your job, but also what you may be able to do before you leave. These suggestions will help you get the new challenge you're looking for, understand the limitations at your current job, and find meaning in your work.

Self-reflection questions discussed in the episode:

Does the stock market dropping and inflation increasing have you worried? Danielle breaks down the changes she is making to her portfolio right NOW - advice for beginners and pros alike! And in careers, we have our first guest, Lindsey, an HR Manager in the manufacturing industry. Genevieve and Lindsey cover exactly how to bounce back when things go wrong at work, from email typos to turning around a tense working relationship.

This week, Danielle explains how even a $2,000 raise, if invested, can grow to over $500,000 towards your retirement.  If you’re still not convinced to ask for that raise after this episode, we’d be shocked. This is the second of a 2-part episode on negotiation.

Key timestamps:

15:55 - shows how much a $2,000 raise can turn into in 37 years

19:15 - shows how much a $10,000 raise will be in 25 years (high-earners and mid-career folks, this is for you!)

With prices rising and labor shortages, who doesn’t want to ask for a raise? Genevieve breaks down the when, the what, and the how of negotiation.  Beyond salary, there are many other benefits that you didn't even know you could negotiate for!

This is the first of a 2-part episode on negotiation. The next episode is on the long-term financial impacts of a salary bump.
