Callum Borshers: 我认为疫情期间的人才争夺战已经结束,导致许多高薪员工面临薪资调整的压力。现在跳槽者更难获得大幅加薪,甚至可能需要接受降薪。我建议大家反思自己是否对收入轨迹过于乐观,并关注薪酬透明化带来的市场价格信息。如果发现自己薪酬过高,应该增加储蓄,为可能的降薪做好准备。同时,我也观察到雇主们现在更注重交易性,会根据市场情况调整薪资。不过,替换员工也需要成本,这可能会给高薪员工带来一定的保障。经济的不确定性正在冷却交易和并购活动,这也影响了薪资水平。虽然大部分换工作的人仍然能获得一定程度的加薪,但比例已经下降。我建议员工不仅要关注自己的薪水,还要关注更广泛的经济环境,并做好降薪的准备,以便将来能更好地发展。
