<prompt> Human: Ill try to be as quick as possible here. Im a 28 year old, second year attorney in new york and Im:- making 104k with 10 bonus. - No IRA or 401k. - Full medical coverage MINUS dental and vision. - 20 vacation days a year. - I have a great relationship with my boss and my day to day is very chill- I have a lot of freedom to be where I want and when I want so the pressure is low. - Theres also a lot of room for growth because I got into this law firm early on. - Im one of the main attorneys at the office. The only problem is that with a 104k salary and student debt, I cant afford to live in manhattan and save at the same time - so I currently live with my parents. Other similar jobs are paying 130-140k. Should I stay or should I dust off that resume? Should I be doing a market check?  <response>: It looks like a pretty good gig, right? It is. But, youll never really get ahead. Switching jobs is the primary way to increase your compensation in todays working economy. If you feel that the atmosphere is worth 26K - 36K and a lack of 401K, then stay. If you want to move forward with making enough money to eventually retire and do whatever it takes to do that, then leave.At your age, I was in a similar situation, but still moved across country to get a new job with a 15 pay increase. Do I regret it? no. My professional network increased in size and so did my retirement account, plus I got to live somewhere else new for a while and see another side of America.There is nothing wrong with keeping your resume up to date and out there for someone to pick up on. You dont have to actively search hard, but a casual fishing line out there might not hurt. I have one friend that did that and it actually worked out quite well. When a headhunter went to his boss about him, they had a chat, and he got the compensation he should be getting.Just some extra thoughts to help you out. Good luck!
