The most valuable people have something in their pocket.

Once every 3 years, apply for a job elsewhere. One of 3 things may happen: 1. You apply and get a better job offer and leave - This shows you what you are worth. 2. You apply and get a better job offer, but stay. The best people are those who work with purpose, not because they are trapped. - This gives you options, and frees you to take bigger risks in your current role. 3. You apply and don't get a better job offer. You learn to manage your expectations and gratitude. - This keeps you humbled.
