Loved yesterday’s Dilbert strip which gives some excellent career advice: If you want your company to value you, start by being valuable first.
I know way too many people who whine constantly about their jobs: The boss sucks, the pay sucks, the location sucks, they aren’t given enough responsibility, etc.
But the truth is, nobody owes you anything. You need to figure out how to grow your skills and be So Good They Can’t Ignore You before you start talking about benefits and raises.
What’s the one thing you could do today to improve your career capital?
