If you are in an organization that is thriving and about to reap the results of a project, and another company approaches you to poach you, would you refuse or accept immediately? Actually, I originally wanted to post this in the sports section, but later I thought that although the protagonist of this post is Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta, what I really want to discuss is the topic of job hopping, so I posted it in the general forum.

Let me start by talking about some things that happened to Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta. The main thing that surprised me was a news report that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in France is currently looking for a head coach, and they contacted Arteta to inquire if he has any interest in leaving Arsenal to become their coach. Honestly, when I saw this news, I was quite surprised.

For those who may not be familiar with the background, here's a brief explanation. My surprise stemmed from the fact that Arsenal, under Arteta's leadership, is currently on the rise. Whether it's the team's strength or its atmosphere, you can see the hope of revival. Moreover, in the transfer market, Arteta practically has the ability to call the shots. Almost any player he wants, the owner is willing to buy for him. It's clear that Arsenal is on the verge of reaping the fruits of success. So, in my opinion, no other club should be inquiring about Arteta's interest in leaving at this time because the answer is quite obvious—no.

The same applies to work. If you've been working on a project for years and have achieved good results, even if another company tries to poach you, I would personally wait until you've reaped the rewards of your hard work before considering a job change. Jumping ship before everything is certain won't do you any good and can't be written into your resume. This is something that no amount of money can buy. Changing jobs under such circumstances really doesn't offer any benefits.

The reason I'm writing about this topic today is that I recently encountered a similar situation, and I firmly chose to stay. That's why I wanted to share my approach when faced with such situations. I believe that career planning isn't just about looking at the high salary; other factors should also be taken into account. Some opportunities are latent and invisible to the naked eye. Of course, I'm not saying that my approach is always correct, so let's consider this as a starting point for discussion and share our thoughts on the matter.

I think your perspective is very astute. You should consider not only the immediate high salary but also the unforeseeable opportunities. At crucial moments, resisting temptation and keeping a long-term view is essential. Don't be shortsighted; otherwise, you might miss out on several great opportunities in life. I give your choice a hundred thumbs up!

Whether to change jobs or not, you need to consider multiple factors. Which company offers better career prospects, has a brighter future, and provides a higher salary are all factors to take into account. After all, it's natural for people to aim for better opportunities.

If the prospects are promising, I definitely won't leave.

Even for a coach like Arteta, if he were to leave Arsenal now and move to Paris Saint-Germain, I believe it would be a decision not worth the cost. Just as you mentioned, Arsenal's team is thriving at the moment, and considering a move to another team in such a situation would be like drinking poison to quench one's thirst. Arteta must be overjoyed with Arsenal buying the players he wants and giving him the authority he desires. At a time like this, if you approach him with a job offer at Paris Saint-Germain, his thought process would probably be: "I'm living in paradise here, why would I go to PSG? What's the point?"

If you feel that staying in the company no longer holds much meaning, perhaps it's worth considering exploring other opportunities.

In the end, it often comes down to money; people tend to go where the money is.
