Who’s Minding the Store?

You could be one of many people who interviewed coming out of school, picked the best of the jobs on offer, and went to work. Then, you noticed you had a “career” going. Coincidentally, that can also be when BV starts to be fun because you understand the process more broadly.

Assumptions about a career path can start to form. Sometimes, they’re right. More often, unfortunately, they’re wrong. Assumptions are not inherently a bad thing. They provide a convenient way to navigate life. When it comes to your career, though, they’re a problem.

The best antidote is reliable information about careers in BV. Where am I likely to end up, given the path that I’m on? What are the milestones I should watch out for on the way? Priority number one: How much should I expect to earn?

What can happen when you’re not being accountable for your career?

• You can discover you’ve waited too long to make that geographic move you’ve told yourself (and maybe someone else) that you would.
• You can miss the clues that confirm you’re in the right place and make the wrong move. You can miss the clues that say you should leave and stay.
• You can learn the hard way that what you’re worth—and the size of your paycheck—where you are is more than the market would bear if you wanted to make a move.

Like most people, looking for answers to questions about careers is not a priority. You’re too busy having one. And if you are serious about finding them, where do you turn? You could talk to colleagues, but their experience is as limited as yours.
