Yes I have changed jobs for more money and honestly I can say it was the biggest mistake I have made.

I was in a very comfortable position making a decent amount of money, loved my job and things were great. Then, a job offer came along which potentially trippled my salary earnings and with a company whom had a great reputation in the industry I work in. I felt there were risks as I would be moving away from my home town, 300 miles away to a new city. But having considered these risks I felt it was worth the risk to take a shot what could have been great. As it turns out, I hated the job, couldn’t stand living in a place where I knew absolutely nobody.

Now, I’ve quit the new job and moved back to my home city but working in a lesser job than I was originally in. Still kicking myself for leaving the original job I had, but it’s all about the life experience I’ve gained by going through this mistake, but at least I have a job at the moment, could be worse………

I’ve changed jobs for money and better opportunity several times, and turned down a good offer because it involved a move to another state that I wasn’t too keen on living in. Each move has worked out for me so far. Though work may not always be enjoyable, the compensation makes it tolerable.

I feel for one to change jobs there should be reasoning behind it other than just money. You may leave a perfectly good job for more money only to find one you get to the new one that the work environment is horrible. While money plays a small role, I’d be content to stay somewhere with a good atmosphere.

I have changed jobs for the money, and also changed careers for the money. The career change was way back when I did manual labor before I had a real skill to bargain with. After that, I changed jobs and moved to start my own business. It was for the money even though I wouldnt make the same initially but things worked out for the best.
