MBB Transfer Portal Thread: Moser Year 4

My post has nothing to do with that?

The original poster, and posters before, have indicated that "we" (users of this board) shop our salaries and would switch jobs for more money. I was simply questioning that.

Trying reading the conversation you are responding to instead of trying to have an "I gotcha" moment.

And to answer your question, I actually do know quite a few young people with children that don't come from money. But again, we aren't talking about them. We're talking about "us."

You’re right man, money sucks.

I know a lot of people that do this and I know a lot of people that are afraid to do this. It’s not All about the money but it’s about knowing your worth. If your current employer doesn’t value your contributions there are usually others that do. You have to decide what’s most important to you. It all matters…salary, time off, location, stress of job…it’s not just the salary.

I do think some of these players are taking the most money regardless of the rest because it’s temporary. They only have to go somewhere for a year and then they can leave if they don’t like it or get a better offer.

Also, as a player the intangibles are pretty similar other than location and salary. They’re all practicing about the same (capped by NCAA) and the stresses are generally similar too as they’re all playing the same game.

Are you all really shopping jobs like constantly, or annually?

I don't know anybody that does that. Just about anybody could change jobs and get more money. Wouldn't always be a lot more, but more. I could easily find a job that pays more than the one I have. But I like where I'm at. I like what I've built there. I like my path forward. I don't know anybody, personally, that is constantly shopping for the highest paying job they can find.

Everyone in tech does that. It is how you get promoted, even now. You can either double your salary every 2-3 years (for the top folks) .. or spend years being very underpaid and missing growth opportunities till they lay you off or fire you. Corps are amoral business structures .. it is indoctrinated naïveté to bond to that.

This 100%. Of course, you hit a ceiling when you get to my age and eventually have to find a place to land long term, but companies move on quickly and you have to be ready to move on quickly, too. Thus, constantly shopping around.

Just about everyone my age (35) that i know is job hopping like every 1-2 years. Its nuts. Just anecdotal.

I was honestly just asking. I don't see it happening and I see a lot of people at a lot of different companies in a lot of different industries. So I just wanted to ask.

I could see it more in the tech world given how that industry operates.

Companies aren't loyal. They hire people in for 10-20% more two years later than you were hired in at. Management turns over just as quickly if not more quickly, so you move on and make more money. I've been playing the game for 15+ years at this point.

The problem you run into at my age is literal age discrimination. So at some point, the gravy train runs out.

Not trying to take over the thread but a contemporary of mine that graduated 1 year before me is on job #6 (I'm on job #3 for reference - 1 was purely to relocate) = Avg. job duration of 1.6 years. Idk why people hire her bc you know shes looking around prolly about 6 months in at best..
 
Ok so now that our Oklahoma kids loyalty program has reached its conclusion, who are we legitimately in the mix for, specially guys who would be difference makers? Not just guys we have contacted, but ones who might be actually interested?

From the start, I didn’t believe garrison would ever come to OU. He’s a poke. He looked for every opportunity other than OU. NOT surprised.

I think, fundamentally, Moser doesn’t understand the OU job at all and he’s in over his head. We all know the score. Win or get fired and we start over.

Agree with the first part. He bleeds orange. Not sure any amount of $$ would have convinced him to wear crimson.
Second part is bs.

If there are difference makers left in the portal, we are not in on them.
Crawl back until your hole until next March.
