costing habits

浪费钱的小习惯

You think short-term vs. long-term

短期/长期计划

 

We often don't really take into account the effect of our actions in the long run. For example, you not negotiating a $5k increase in salary does not just cost you $5k this year, but maybe next year as well.

 

In your next job interview, the employer will try to pay you according to your past salary.

 

Your negotiating position will start from $5k less than what it could have.
