Just my $0.02 cents.
Aaron,
The problem begins when you try to find a job while still on a job.
If your boss finds out that you are indeed on the look out for a new
opportunity then it may sparkle misunderstandings and misconceptions. I
had a friend once that did really well on his project and he had gotten
bonuses and all the good stuff. The contract was at its final stage and
he needed to make more money because his wife was pregnant with twins.
It so happens that he sent an e-mail to a mailing list of which his boss
was also a subscriber. The e-mail had information about his skills, a
link for his resume and that he was looking for a new opportunity to
make more money. His resume was open to the public.. His boss called him
5 minutes after he sent that e-mail and cursed him to death saying that
it was unethical to say that my friend was not well paid after all the
bonuses and everything. It sparkled so much trouble that he got out of
the company.
Indeed, my friend had done his job well. The project had been 95%
delivered and he was looking for a better opportunity. With his wife
pregnant, it was a perfect time to look for a new chance to make more
money. Instead, because of a misunderstanding with having his public
resume open to the public, he ended in a bad situation. His boss later
told him that it will be harder to find programmers because people may
think that he does not pay well. Whih in part, is true.
Just my $0.02 cents,
Ravi.
