[quote=Anonymous]I stay because my job never requires overtime unless I am traveling and when I work overtime, I am paid 1.5x rate. My job activities rarely require more than 4-6 per day of actual work. There are many people who have been with my company for over 20 years and even though it is majority contract work, theyve never furloughed or fired people during shutdowns/recessions. I get yearly raises above inflation rates (in normal times).

I havent determined if raises will continue for 20 years but if I stay at this job for my entire career it would be 34 years there (retiring at 65), more likely Id get to almost 40 years which at the lowest raise Id be making more than 150k than I am now to do the same job.

The only reason I would leave is if I could find a job that has significant maternity leave and/or a huge raise. My company has none and our leave accruals are sub-par so I never get an opportunity to accrue enough leave. I would need to take LWOP for at least 3 months if we have another baby. [/quote]
