Experienced individuals already know that their salaries depend on the relevance or value of their experience to the available job.

Generally, it is often advised that you should go for the job you love or where you can develop skills that would be useful later in life. 


So, while considering the salaries, consider other opportunities.


I'd like you to think of Job environment, Job security, transferable skills, network opportunities and fringe benefits before rushing for the carrot.
