Job: Project Manager, Software Development (United States)

Be a commodity that means you are needed,

replaceable but not an easy replacement,

once in that space you will not have to ask

for a raise just make a gester and it will come

Performance is the way, good tip going

in is if they will not match your ultimate salary ask for it based on performance in 6 months

to a year review. Now it is built in and try

to keep that going on a yearly basis.

Job Security

Manage your career like a business and dont worry about so called "job security". Look at your current job as not only a pay check but as an on-going opportunity to build your resume and experiance. Take advantage of all training and development seminars, request to be a part of any major team that is doing something you feel you could make a contribution to or that you feel would enrich your work experiance. Network relentlessly and always maintain a solid professional demeanor. Give yourself a pat on the back at the end of the day for the 10 or 20 things you could have said but had the sense not to - you wont be remembered for the blooper or unkind word you didnt say - but what you do say will follow you forever. Job Security is a myth that should have been put down years ago - we carry our security in our heads, we make it happen and keep it alive.
