Your at the bottom of the totem pole at your job. You know you need to make a change but aren’t willing to make sacrifices. You might be working… but your just going through the motions and not working towards anything, your not making any advancements in your company. I wouldn’t even really consider your raises advancements either unless it was like 50% increase because your work has been so good, rather than a raise that’s just enough to keep you relatively happy and working at the same place.
