While jumping to a new company could get you on the fast track to a salary increase, it could also prove dicey, particularly after the recession. "You need to have awareness of the risk you're taking when you make a change," says Cohen.

Ask about recent turnover and how committed the company is to growth.

To make the most of your prime earning years, you'll also need to take other steps beyond your career.
