• the best negotiating position? being ready to walk away
• that moment hits: your job feels stale
• first instinct? jump ship
• but what if problem isn’t the job - it’s what you’re doing in it?

the power move

• keep that “i want better” mindset
• but pitch the change internally first
• fact that you’re ready to leave gives you leverage
• you’re negotiating from strength, not desperation

being ready changes everything

• your voice gets stronger
• your ideas get bolder
• your impact grows
• suddenly not asking for permission - you’re offering opportunities

internal pivot opportunity

• maybe company’s got room for you to pivot
• new project, different role, more autonomy
• you bring fresh perspective, they bring trust
• boom: change without chaos of starting over

worst case clarity

• they say no
• but that’s clarity, not rejection
• it’s proof you’ve outgrown them
• leaving feels purposeful, not reactive

this isn’t about threats

• it’s about freedom
• when you know you can walk away, you stop accepting bullshit
• you start creating real change
• sometimes that change is exactly what everyone needed

the paradox

• best part? you often end up staying
• not because you have to
• because you chose to
• because you built something worth staying for

freedom redefined

• freedom isn’t about leaving
• it’s about knowing you can
• don’t threaten to leave
• be ready to stay
