How to switch career and earn more - Helen Tupper

One of the key levers to build wealth is increasing your income.

We’re stating the obvious here but the interesting thing is that switching career to earn more money is rarely considered.

And that’s normally because we’ve already invested so much in our careers that the idea of switching now, with the hope of earning more, makes us shudder.
