The Compensation Game

Send us a MessageIf you dream of being a billionaire (like Bruno Mars) but are working 9-to-5 (like Dolly Parton), and money is what you want (like Barrett Strong said back in the 1960s), then you're playing the Compensation Game. There are studies abound that try to teach us the rules of engagement for the Compensation Game, such as getting a new job every 3-5 years vs. staying in a position can lead to higher compensation. But is that really the game you want to play? This week, Kim and Louise unpack some of the rules (as we understand them) and start to identify ways you can create your own Compensation Game play that works for you as you design Your Kickass Career.
