I cannot understand why this is so hard to get. People on here whining about their employer using them. Well, yes they are. Use them back. It's just business, it's expected on both sides of the table.

Last three times I jumped, I increased my pay by $12 -> $22 -> $32. I could go again, but I'm kinda fat, happy and lazy ATM.

I'm picturing you on a porch in a Rockin chair with chewing some grass, occasionally stopping to look around and go "yuup".

I'd like that.

Are you actively watching me?!

"yuup"

One of the biggest hurdles for me is the gap in medical coverage and uncertainty of what is covered next. I have a genetic condition that requires very expensive medication. Jumping jobs and hoping COBRA payments aren't insane is a big risk, so I don't feel confident jumping quickly between jobs if one doesn't work out.
