Discovering the New 100K Salary in Today's Economy

by Silas Reed     
When you are looking for a 100k job, when you know that is what you are worth and that is what you need, you may be a little bemused by what your options are and how you can move ahead. With companies cutting costs left and right, it can be tough to see how the 100k jobs out there are surviving, but the truth of the matter is that they are definitely out there; you just have to know where to look! Many people who command the 100k salaries are aware of the fact that their jobs are not disappearing, but that they are changing. Whether you have held a 100k job before, or you would like to hold one in the future, you need to be someone who is ready to change with them.

In the first place, take some time and make sure that you consider what your options are when you are looking at your work. More and more companies are looking for people who have a lot of experience, and when that might describe you, you will find that you are in a place where you need to think about doing your work with regards to what kind of work you have done in the past! What do you bring to the table, and what kind of prices can you command for it? Remember that they are looking for something unique that only you can provide and if you are in place where you would like to show them what you can do, remember that you need to show them what you have done!

Take some time and make sure that you consider what your options are when you are thinking about how you are marketing yourself. One thing that many people who have attained the 100k job have said is that they are their own industry and that they are their own brand. These sound like great words, but what do they really mean? When you are looking at getting a salary that is going to take care of you, take some time and make sure that you consider how you present yourself and your accomplishments; are you selling yourself, and are you making them take notice of what you are doing? This is something that can make a huge difference to the way that you move forward and the way that you are going to present yourself.

If you are in a place where you are thinking about moving forward and getting the right kind of salary for yourself, you need to remember that you can ask for the 100k right away or you can work your way up to it. Many companies, however, have a current salary freeze and unless you want to be stuck where you are for a few years, you are going to find yourself thinking about what your options are for advancement. There are many thoughts on asking for a salary like this at this time, and you need to simply evaluate how strong your position is. Consider how you are going to move forward and what your options are in this regard.

Get the salary that you need; remember that the 100k jobs are out there!

A few years ago, I spoke with a man (now retired) who had worked in a large corporation for forty years and in his last twenty years, he basically did nothing. He was paid very well and was more or less forgotten—doing very little of anything. He would show up at the office at 9:00 a.m. each day, try to look busy—do a task now and then—and then get in his car at 5:30 p.m. each evening and dr...
