Internal Mobility vs External Move Calculator
The Internal Mobility vs External Move Calculator compares growing your career inside your current company against leaving for a new one. External moves often pay a bigger raise but carry switching costs like lost tenure, ramp time, and forfeited equity. You enter your salary, the internal and external raise percentages, and the cost of switching, and it returns the five-year earnings for each path after those costs. Use it when an internal transfer and an outside offer are both on the table.
