和老外聊天的地道口语第115期:你做好跳槽的准备（在线收听）

R: do you have s second?

A: sure. What do you want?

R: I want to tell you I've put in my notice.

A: really? Why?

R: I've been thinking about this for several months, well before the Spring Festival holidays.

A: and the holidays provided you a chance to think over all this and make a decision?

R: yeah, after reeciving my yearly bouns, I want to search out better opportunities in the spring job market. I've been working in the company for nearly a year and a half and I still haven't received a pay rise. It's unfair.

A: absolutely. With your expertise and experience, you're clearly working below your pay grade.

R: that's exactly why I decided to quit the job and find a new one.

A: this way, you'll earn more at the new work place.

R: that's right. I am not the only one who has done this. Job hopping is quite common in the IT industry.

A: that is to say, most IT professionals can get a pay rise more easily by changing a job than waiting for a rise. I'm wondering why IT companies are always willing to pay more to new employees instead of giving an attractive pay rise to retain the old ones.
你有空吗?
当然,怎么啦?
我想告诉你我辞职了.
真的?为什么?
这事我想了好几个月了,尤其是春节前那段时间.
春节假期让你有机会好好想想,做个决定是吧?
没错,拿到年终奖以后,我想在春季市场上找到更好的工作机会.我在这家公司干了快一年半了,还没给我加薪,不公平啊.
就是,以你的专业能力和经验,拿的工资确实是偏低了.
所以我决定辞掉这份工作,再找份新的.
这样你就能拿到更高的工资了.
没错.这样做的不止我一个人.跳槽在IT界很常见.
也就是说大多数想要加薪的IT从业者都会换个工作,这样来的跟容易.真不明白为什么IT公司总是愿意给新员工多发工资,而不用加薪手段来留住老员工.
