If you are so poor that you can't afford to eat and pay the rent, or if the absence of skiing holidays has become unbearable, you need to move. But if you are in a greyer area, wishing you had more money but prepared to struggle on, moving looks too risky. Think how lovely your current job is. You have nice colleagues, good hours, interesting work - you can even write your own job description. At a guess, I'd put you in the top 0.1 per cent of the population in terms of job satisfaction. By contrast, I know a few happy City analysts and quite a lot of miserable ones. To run the risk of being in the latter group for only 50 per cent more money doesn't seem like a good deal at all.
如果你非常穷,掏不起饭钱和房租,或者如果没有假期去滑雪令你无法忍受,那么你需要跳槽。但如果你处于一个更为贫困的地带,希望自己能有更多的钱,但又准备继续熬下去,那么换工作的风险似乎太大。不妨想想你目前的工作是多么地有趣。你的同事不错,工作时间合适,工作也很有趣--你甚至可以撰写自己的工作描述。我猜,在工作满意度方面,你可以算在前0.1%的人里面。相比而言,在我认识的金融城分析师中,开心的很少,不如意的相当多。为了多挣区区50%的薪水,就冒着成为后一类人的风险,似乎不太像是一笔划算的买卖。

Of course, the ideal position is to have money and satisfaction. You are only 26; you have many years in which to achieve both. In time, can you earn more where you are? Can you supplement your income with something else? Even if you can't, you should move only when your need for more money has become intolerable. That point could come if or when you have a pram in the hall - although if you have managed to marry someone with a handsome income, that will solve all problems at one happy stroke.
当然,理想的情况是高薪与满足感兼得。你只有26岁;有很多年的时间来实现这两个目标。到时候,你能挣得更多吗?你能做其它什么事来增加自己的收入吗?即使你不能,只有当你难以按捺自己对挣更多钱的需求时,你才应该换工作。如果或是当你有了孩子时,这一天可能会到来--不过如果你想办法娶了一个收入可观的妻子,那么所有问题都将迎刃而解。
