LPT: Most people stop looking at other options once they get a job they are content with. Even if you are happy/content at your current job you may find that you are being underpaid or underutilized for your skill set.
You might find that you are more thankful for the job you do have after seeing what is out there, which will make you happier at work
You may also find yourself needing another job sooner than expected, so it’s a good idea to know what is going on in the market and not be left feeling totally shocked and unprepared
If you are unhappy at your job, or just stuck in a rut, seeing what else is out there might motivate you to make a much needed change. Not all jobs are going to be “fun” but life is too short to work a job you truly dread going to
Online job postings are everywhere. LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Craigslist, Indeed and Monster.com are a few that come come mind that can be browsed casually while watching Netflix, etc…
***BONUS TIP: If you have a work computer or phone, don’t use it to browse or apply for other jobs. Always assume someone has access to your device
