There are only a few standard ways to make more money: give private tuition, drive part time taxi and start some business on the side. Not easy. If easy, people won’t be stuck in their jobs.
Actually the easiest way is to quit your job and let your previous employer hire you back as a self-employed consultant. This way you can work for other companies as well and get paid a lot better…
Why are you so confident that the previous employer will hire anyone back as a consultant?
Simple. If you are working day & night than your employer does not have time to hire somebody new and train him up to your standard… Besides he pockets a very healthy margin because clients pay him a lot than what you get.
Clients could also hire you as an independent consultant and pay you directly!
So are you working as a consultant now?
@Samesame
Yup working as a consultant now..
Managers should have a basis of how much is the salary that they are entitled to accept. But they should also perform well to show their boss that they are worthy to get a high salary.
