Over coffee this morning, Richard Fimmano and I were chatting about a concept we often see play out in our industry: The Sunk Cost Fallacy.
It’s that feeling of being “too invested” in your current role to make a change. Maybe you’ve spent years with the same company, built a strong internal reputation, and become the go-to person. That’s something to be proud of, but it can also become a trap.
We regularly speak with candidates who feel stuck, hesitant to explore new opportunities simply because of how much time they've already invested in their current job.
But here’s the reality: the cost of staying in the wrong role is often far greater than the risk of making a change.
Take the leap. The market is strong, talent is in demand, and if it doesn’t work out, there’s a good chance your current employer would gladly take you back.
So, what’s really holding you back?
