Don’t get to close to the sun. Dont get into a job where you are paid way to high vs what revenue you produce the company. You’ll be the first one to get the boot to reduce costs. Be an asset.
My supervisor just left after 20 years which is really sad and she just finally hit 6 figures last year. Now she is a director for a rival company making double. It honestly doesn't make sense that companies do not value long term employees anymore.
Long term means nothing to most companies. It's the value an employee brings and the cost to keep him/her that matter. Almost any job is replaceable these days.
If you ever managed employees, you would see that most slack off & become complacent after years on the job. There’s always the star employee that should move on. Personally, my approach was to call them out, figure what I could do to keep the train going & motivate my team.
@@fr3ddy1461it makes sense because they don't want to pay higher salaries. It's about costs and employees are assets. They are already planning for AI to take the jobs so they can make even more money.
Gone are the days when employees used to work for a single company their whole life. It's better to switch companies nowadays than climb the corporate ladder. Don't fall for the "we are a family" BS. Just switch jobs every few years and do something on the side. That way you don't have to worry about anything.
Whatever you do, don’t change jobs just because you’ve hit x number of years. It’s a case by case basis. Your situation is unique, so you need to consider it in isolation.
Switch jobs only if you're not progressing. As long as you're getting promotions/ raises or the job is serving your goals, stay. As soon as they start giving the 0.2% yearly raise, dip.
The simple answer is stay as long as it benefits you or are happy. It should not come as a surprise that you are dispensable and will be laid off at a moments notice no matter how long or how many extra hours free work you put it in.
After grad school, I worked at a job for 2.5 and I switched roles while I was there. I gained enough experience to leave and find another job with a 15k pay bump. Always try to gain as much experience you can because you will always be a student never the master. Good luck to those who are taking a leap of faith in their careers!
While eating dinner in an airport, I overheard an inebriated accounting firm senior guy, who looked in his fifties, advise a younger accountant, "We're all prostitutes in business. We provide service." Arrogantly uttered but somewhat true.
The ideal time scale is 3 years at each job 3 is a strong amount of time no one questions the length, it is long enough to justify being promoted a grade up in your next move.
I mostly agree - I think it scales as you climb. A couple of 2-3 year positions in the beginning of your career is perfect, but as you rise in the ranks this should become more like 5-7 years or it could look suspicious. Unless of course you are miserable in the job, then definitely get out of that situation.
@@mykki.dAs you progress in your carrier I think you are less inclined to switch in the first place. - Your salary usually grow quickly in your first 10 years, if you dont go above certain managerial roles your real wage will eventually stagnate even if you switch jobs. - Your lifestyle will slow down especially if you have kids.
Pretty much agree. Also depends on the company you work for, cause if they are giving you regular promotions it might make sense to stay longer than 3 years
Nah, that is just too much time. I 4x my starting salary staying 6-8 month in companies. Job hopping is the way to go at least for my generation, which is Gen Z. No point on staying longer than a year.
I switched jobs until the pay was right for the amount of responsibility, the culture was right and I could continue to save, invest and pursue my side hustle to replace the main hustle. Now that I'm there, I'm happy and don't plan on leaving until I'm able to leave the workforce entirely. Be strategic when switching jobs, you may invite other problems you didn't have previously.
95% of US workers said they plan to look for a new job in 2024? That is an absolutely insane stat. Like, completely mindboggling. Enough to assume that it's probably not even remotely accurate
They probably used a very broad set of options which amounted to "I plan on looking at other job postings", "I plan on seeing competitor's salaries", "I would like to earn more money", etc. with only one option for "I plan on staying where I'm at" as the "No" response to "do you plan on looking for a new job in 2024?"
They also seemed surprised that entry age workers don’t stick around at their job flipping burgers than older ages. I always question mainstream media data.
Yeah, I was looking for this comment. When I hear a radical number like that I tend to distrust everything that comes after. If you're exaggerating that key data point, your insights are not all that insightful. I'm open to it being true, but would need to see the study in depth and additional supporting studies from other sources.
The first company A , I worked for 5 years. Then I got 40% raise when I switched from company A to B and 9 months later I got laid off. To my surprise I got another 10% raise when I switched from company B to C. I should have left my first job much earlier
Hard figures are much more useful than % raises. What was the 40% increase from and to? 40k to 56k? 60k to 84k? 70k to 98k? Sadly, there’s no official market rate. So companies will adjust based on how difficult it is to fill a position, which they’ll only realize when nobody is will to do the work for less.
Yeah I considered this but also I considered that since this was my first position in the industry I am in, I didn't have any leverage or direct experience. Now after a year and a half, I'm way more experienced then when I first started, the only reason I haven't started applying for other positions is because I want to get some certifications under my belt before I leave.
I am 44 and doing this. Was a stay at home mome until my marriage fell apart in 2019. Started at 45k, promoted to 55k, switched companies to earn 90k. That was 20 months ago. Now I am about to accept a job offer with a different company for $115k base plus bonus. You don’t have to be in your twenties to do this. It just seems to be a good strategy for anyone early in their career.
I stayed at my first employer for 20 years. It was hard walking away from a $100k+ engineering salary and six weeks PTO in a low cost state. Oh and a Pension as well. But when I realized our net worth was $2.5 million at age 43 and we lived a simple life below our means...I convinced myself money wasn't everything and time to do a career change. Now making 50% less but super low stress and the net worth is actually $4.7 million now. No more commute or pointless meetings actually came with this new job. Nothing beats using your own bathroom and kitchen on the clock. I spent more time around my kids during their high school years and finally was able to see them come home from school after all these years which was pretty important to me as a parent. Make them a snack, ask them about their day, etc. Life is pretty easy and relaxing now in my mid-40's....I quickly fall asleep at night and no longer think about work outside of work hours..... sometimes even on the clock I don't think about work. You just have to find a way to reach a point to convince yourself money and title isn't everything.
Exactly. It’s the investments and lifestyle you make that really give you the wealth. Not the constant salary hunting and trying to outcompete others on interviews by brute forcing technical exams.
@@leonchen89For me, once I saw the gains from investments shadowing our earned income (as well as the dips) I saw my job and working for money differently. This is a blessing and a curse not going to lie. It became harder sitting in pointless meetings!
@@sunsetat9 Big Aerospace Company currently in the news for safety -- Can you take a guess based on this clue? If you work for certain State or Federal jobs you can still get a pension today.
Job switching comes with its own ups and downs…including the risk of being the first on the chopping block if the company starts to go belly up. But it also allows you to raise your income…but the first 3 months can be stressful trying to fit into the culture and leading a new team.
I went from just under 42k as a high school teacher in 2021 to 55k in my first assistant professor position. A year later (2022), I moved to a research university, making 65k. In 2023, we got a raise that put me at just over 68k. We're getting another that will put me over 70k in Fall 2024. So, in 3 years, my full-time income increased by approximately 30k. With my other remote teaching gigs, I make well over 100k. I don't regret job hopping!
Wow. Which state? $65,000 for a university professor is not too much. You can make that amount working a blue collar job at a younger age. Trying to become a teacher was my biggest mistake in life. It made me fall behind in life, career, and finance. I work now in tech making 68k and the job did not require a degree nor much experience.
Unfortunately teachers don't make a lot, very underappreciated. Speaking as someone who teaches preschoolers. The mental toll is not worth the 20 bucks an hour. @@jacqueslee2592
Unfortunately, this video is irrelevant. There are many people out there applying for hundreds of jobs all the time and not even getting an interview so it’s not that easy just looking for another job.
@@joesmith-th3jq That’s exactly it, there’s lots of ghost jobs being posted online. It sucks because when you apply for the job, you end up not getting a call back. Instead you get an automated email saying that they found another candidate for the job listed.
I felt this way in the past but what worked for me was this: I stop applying for jobs on rat race websites like indeed. I invested time in building my LinkedIn and resume. I reached out to recruiters and recruitment companies to apply for me. My current company and previous company were high paying jobs and had no postings on major sites. Both were private companies. Please don’t get discouraged… keep digging until you reach goal. Trust me.
In 8 years I went from a yearly salary of $20k in 2019, $52k in 2020, $58k in 2021, and now I’m at $100k. I’m actually searching again and my new goal is $145k.
13 years ago i moved from Portugal to Switzerland. Got a job in watch making industry.They told me that i could work there until my retirement,and honestly i'm trying my best too do soo! Only 25 more years 😅😊
Thought about applying for another company coz my current one doesnt pay that high but the benefit of WFH, relatively stress-free work, flexible hours, take time off anytime and change schedules anytime really made me stay. Valued the flexibility over the money since i have a baby.
It takes a significant amount of effort to rotate to another role and learn the aspects of company and job functions. I think/feel the older you get, the desire to constantly hop becomes burdensome. Tenure can create experience and expertise, which many employers do want.
Stayed 20 years in the USAF - best decision I’ve ever made to retire in 2017 at 38 years young with the ability to start a second career working remotely from home 🏠🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Very fascinating, because a lot of this is pretty true. One thing to note, is certain company have age preference too surprisingly. Example: Company (A) might prefer older individuals, because of maturity and commitment. While company (B) might prefer younger folks, because of lower pay and the welcome of new ideas. It's all a part of the culture, structure, and innovation. This is only a small part of the overall.💯
😑jobs will drop you in a heart beat…always always have a back up…widen your experience to grow your self valuable and keep yourself knowledgeable in the job market but to be honest aspire to be your own boss 😊
Not said here but for people without college degrees in good paying positions be very careful if you move from something that pays well it can be hard to move back employers still put a fair amount of weight on college degrees. I Really had to bust my hump in the interview to get a good paying white collar career.
@@PsyQoBoyI meant more from the perspective of switching careers without a degree it's a bigger gamble for those of us without degrees. I can't easily switch from the career path I'm on because I don't have the backing of a degree.
Same goes for jobs that usually require a masters. It can be difficult to compete with just your work experience against those that have a masters when you're looking to switch.
I’ll also change job for a pay raise. Loyalty to the dollar. At the end of the day I need that money. If I’m gonna grind in this 9-5 work culture, might as well grind for a better pay
90% of organizations are worried about employmee retention? Maybe they should give their current employees raises on par with the rates they pay new employees then...
The most important point is missed: immigration status. If you are a US citizen or a lawful permanent resident, you can hop as many times as you want. But legal immigrants are not following this pattern. Once a company sponsors you for H1B or a green card, you are on the hook for the next 3-4 years or even decades. Every career change is a well-planned venture because the risk is high, especially during layoffs. You are given only 60 days to find another job or must leave the country. For people with families, mortgages, kids at schools and other assets/liabilities, this is insane. No one talks about this modern form of unfreedom, but many people I know who went through this immigration hell are great managers and leaders. Grit is what makes them great.
I work from home doing graphic design and make around 75K a year and sometimes work gets slow so I get to take care of household chores. My boss is also super nice. I don't see why I would want to leave and risk getting a job that affects my stress, health, happiness, for a bit more money. I even moved to GA where the cost of living is lower and can live anywhere in the country I choose.
I'm DCAing in Blcktken300 as well. ETH heavier DCA and ALGO. I'm taking your advice and starting Google tomorrow with a 50 dollar purchase and continuing Microsoft and Apple. VTI and VOO on another app and longterm portfolio. Here we go family!
I love the part where she says a job hopper might miss out on a promotion opportunity while also admitting that companies don’t promote often enough, often once a year or once every couple years. No employee who is highly skilled is going to wait for a promotion when they can just get a new job with that same promotion job title/role
In my experience, when working for someone else, e.g. not self-employed, there are two constants. One, you cannot get rich working for someone else. Two, you're expendable, e.g. the employer can let you go at any time. My advice for job hoppers is to be loyal only to the mighty buck. Find the job where you get paid the most amount of salary with the least amount of work and the least amount of stress.
You can get rich slowly be saving the majority of your pay. You're right generally that owning a business is the only way to really generate a lot of money.
If you work in tech, you MUST job hob every 18 months, unless you have one of those stock option RSU thing, then stay until your stock options are vested. Don't get stuck at a company for too long, no matter how nice the income is or the prestige of the company you work for. You are all replaceable and you gotta leave them before they leave you
Yes, half of the job is not doing real work but training on how to pass interview exams. I learnt this the hard way after getting laid off working for the same company for 3 years.
Crypto is risky as many would say but I think the actual risk in Crypto is not investing, buying the capitulation isn't a tough call, but it is a very tough call to figure out what to do aside holding. I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I was dumb and I didn't understand it. I studied and learned and now I know how it works. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with 10k and I’m up with 128k in a short period of time
I'm new to cryptocurrency and don't understand how it really works. how Can someone know the right approach to investing and making good profits from cryptocurrency investments?
As a beginner investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I’m guided by Coach Alex. A widely known crypto consultant
I started working with Coach Alex back in June, and my financial goals have never been clearer. It’s like having a strategic partner for my money with a solid track record.
I waited for that promotion in 3 years just to find out I was being terminated. Leave as soon as possible. It’s a business, and you’re just a number to the employers. They will eat their young just to be profitable.
Jump early in your career, and ease back and off as you grow older. Like the video said, the majority of Senior Levels are the Veterans at that company.
I’m going to be as honest as possible. If you’re not planning on making that job a career long term less than 2 years and switch jobs. The reason I say that is because you don’t want to get too comfortable in a job that you cannot live with the rest of your life making that crappy salary. Although I’m positive with rent increases everyone has at least two jobs. Which is good, you gotta do what you gotta do to pay your rent but career wise never get to comfortable unless you plan on staying there trust me.
Two jobs are not always good for me nothing is more essential than being well. You won't be able to move around to buy anything or engage in any activity if your health isn't good, regardless of rising prices. In addition, working longer hours means spending a lot of time with toxic coworkers, which is stressful at work and bad for one's mental health. Then, imagine this: if you spend several hours performing a bodily hazardous job, guess what? In other ways, it damages the body and increases stress. Starting a side hustle or investing that's not stressful is the best course of action if the person needs that extra money.
Best advice I ever received was don't have loyalty to a company because they will not remain loyal to you in the downtimes. I avoided being laid off recently by leaving and gaining a better job
I was hired in 1994 and would like to stay 7 more years and retire. I'm a mental health crisis counselor with a hospital system and I've been offered jobs with other systems but the pay and benefits are about the same. I enjoy my work, I'm paid enough, so I have little incentive to change.
Employers are only hiring part time to avoid providing BASIC health care that EVERY AMERICAN DESERVES. Why would I work for someone who actively works against all of us? We're done giving effort for those who refuse to match.
Thank you to you CNBC, for coming out with a video like this...which matters to a lot people nowadays who are in dilemma when they are announced that they will be laid off etc..best 12 minutes watching the content and experiences ahared by different people and the acute statistical info and analysis presented as well..kudos keep doing this 👍
"Finding out what the opportunities are within your company involves an uncomfortable conversation with your manager." This is the kind of conversation that you should be having regularly with your manager! Get comfortable with uncomfortable conversations! Expressing your desires for growth should lead any good manager to open doors for you and coach you to help you succeed!
I started as a QA Tech with my current company making 27/hr and worked for a year. I then moved into a salaried position as a supervisor and then into an analyst role working for corporate HQ. Went from 57k to 87k all within 3 years total! It definitely helps to move around. Now I’m looking to change companies and will make even more!
Employers are absolutely not human, especially in small, founder-run, private companies. They want you to stay, but don’t give you the “culture” or pay that would actually make employees want to stay. There is all of this data that revolves around employee retention and whatnot, but really the only thing that matters to the individual is earning enough to be happy, and not hating their job. That’s it.
@@user-by3nd4rm6c Yeah, Fascist rhetoric. That's what I said. 🤷🏻♂️ And ofc. Fascists always use NewSpeak and Double Speak. It's how you creeps can pretend to not mean what your dog whistles imply.
skill acquisition with wide exposure in my 20s, seek upward mobility, pay increases, and multiple streams of revenue in 30s, develop dependable repeatable automatable processes for personal/work growth in my 40s. Do jobs that fulfill me in 50s and Retire by 60. I started this in my teens so I shifted all this the left by 5 yrs.
I think you have to do what’s best for you and your future. What you want from your career and what you expect from a company will play a key part in staying long term or leaving in the short term. But I still believe there are small number of companies that value you and your work as an employee and will treat you with respect and reward you with appreciation and higher compensation.
If you don't know what you are doing in your new job, congratulations, you have found a job that is challenging and the next step up. When you fully know every facet of the job and it becomes tedious, it is here where you should consider asking for a promotion, or try switching companies or agencies if you work in government.
Just swapped all of my last ETH and swapped it into Blcktken300 . Already up a little bit. Unfortunately I have some other junk staked which won’t free up for a while. Still now I am on the train!
@2:37 yes, higher pay isn't the only thing that would make me happier. But it's far more important than the other things he listed and throughout this video. I'd rather make $100K and have terrible coworkers than make $50K and work with best friends.
Depends how long you've you're willing to put up with terrible co-workers. Eventually, you end up being terrible like them or become their victim. If co-workers are constantly trying to throw you under the bus, then you might not have the 100k job very long. If you can happily make 50k without fear of losing your job, it's possible that the consistent paycheck would end up allowing you to have earned more money than constantly losing your job due to crappy work envrionments.
Been loyal to a company for 1.5 years putting in extra effort on weekends and working long hours as it was my first company and they even did training. Got laid off at end of jan. The worst part is that people who don't work at all are still working there. Still looking for job and decided to not give a damn to a company from now on.
@winwinwin282828 if I wasn't laid off I would have stayed there lot longer, and during the 1.5years I didn't have a single thought of leaving for a better place even though some left as soon as they completed training for 50% hike.
I usually try to stay at least a year or two at a job. Though with the current job I have I'm actually planning to stay for a few years at least. They have really good pay, amazing benefits, and they actually care about their workers because they are financially incentivized to as they are employee owned.
Maybe I’m an “older” generation, but when I’m reviewing resumes I look at the frequency of job switching to determine if this person is worth spending time and money on to train them for the job. I can overlook switching after a short timeframe, but not if it’s consistently happening. I prefer to see candidates with a 3-4 year window at their former positions. If you’re jumping within a year frequently, there’s a good chance they you were fired or let go because you weren’t a good fit.
Not necessarily. I worked about 3 years in my first job out of college and then only worked 16 months in my last job. I am now somewhere else because it was a much better opportunity for life and family purposes and is now a place I’d like to build a foundation with. Not everyone who has frequent job hopping is because they were fired or shows lack of work ethic. I believe you have to look at the whole picture and figure out how that maybe something was happening with their personal life with family or something during those years. Your offer might be the offer they are seeking to give your company a major 10 years because that’s where they want to start their foundation. There are a lot of bad company cultures and managers so some people are moving around because perhaps the people that work there are absolutely terrible to work around. I do understand where you’re coming from though, just kind of a side thought on how we do need to look at people as people too.
At the same time, everyone is pretending to be a company. If a company gives another company a bad deal, there is then no further business. People are perfectly willing to just take their business elsewhere at the drop of a dime
@@tmi4507 - All valid points and I try my best to give someone the benefit of the doubt. If the person is just starting their career often they are switching jobs more often to figure out what they want to do. It’s still important as a manager to determine what they are looking for from our company. If what we want from them aligns with their career goals, then there’s a better chance they’ll stick around.
Gen X here. I have been an engineer for a big local government entity for the last 34 years moving from one department to the next. I will be retiring this year with a pension that pays 72% of my current income for life with COLA. When I die my spouse gets 50% of my pension for life with COLA. So think "strategically" about how long you want to STAY on your job.
Get into contracting! You work 6-12 months for one company and then go work another 6-12 months for another company yet you’ll make more money everytime you switch because you’re increasing your skillset at a faster pace. A lot of staffing agencies offer 401k and insurance. Just keep rolling it over into your own retirement account. The goal is keep pushing for more money!
I was in banking for 10 years and changed jobs five times. Each time I switched, I received a significant increase in pay. I never gave a two-week notice, and I disliked how they would criticize me, calling it “unprofessional” or “not right.” I work in California, and it is at-will employment; just as they can let me go on the spot, I have the right to leave without a two week notice. To managers out there, stop pushing that rhetoric. It’s not personal; it’s just business.
I don't believe in giving 2 weeks notice. I've been fired or let go without notice. When I have given 2 weeks they still hadn't tried looking for my replacement. If I was that valuable to them they should have better compensated me or treated me well in the first place to not want to leave.
Quitting without notice is unprofessional. As for the "they can fire me whenever they want" counterargument that unprofessional people use to justify their behavior, most companies offer severance pay during layoffs. They also pay into unemployment insurance you can access after a layoff.
@@dohczeppelin37 A lot of companies do not offer severance packages. There is not unemployment insurance for most. You're talking about professionals and Fortune 500 companies. The majority of us who aren't union, don't have a college degree, don't work in a professional setting aren't afforded courtesys, professionalism, rights. Screw the employer. If you took care of your people they wouldn't want to leave you.
@Davo-jd7ey Quitting without notice is disruptive and leaves a mess for others to clean up. That's not how mature adults handle themselves. Companies don't have to pay severance during layoffs, so why do they? Because it's the professional thing to do.
I increased my income from 38k to 75k by switching jobs from a company who refused to promote me after 4 years being with them. Always keep looking for better paying jobs every 1-2 years if you aren't satisfied with your work.
Do we consider only switching companies as job switch or also switching position within the same company? It can be someone works in 10 different positions at the same company, and someone else works at 10 different companies but always in 1 position. Does the first example come into the job switching statistics?
You need to use your employer, the same way they use you. I’ve worked at 4 large organizations over my working decade post graduation. I’ve received better hours, better commutes, increased pay, tuition reimbursement, 401k matches that rolled over, and pension style accounts that I got to keep. You need to look at the entire compensation package and evaluate it regularly to determine if this is the right place to continue working
Younger generations always value career advancement more than others. Later in life they realize money is more important and the no matter how hard you work you are still behind financially takes over. If you know you know.
The real key? Put as much away as you possibly can into a retirement fund, hopefully matched by your employer and do as much as they will match. Often 10% of your income. Also in addition, put some into their stock plan if they seem like a good investment. You may be able to buy discounted stocks. You will be surprised how it builds up. I went from in-debt to retirement in about eight years by socking as much as I could away. I'm older but the job was average-ish pay. Not in the hundred thousands, but I managed to save enough in that time to stop working by being careful how I spent and investing in my future. That beats job hopping any day!
@@KP-xi4bj you can of course, but it may get messy with separate 401ks and stocks strewn around. If it gets you more money, it's probably worth it, but you may lose desirability to an employer if you job hop regularly.
@@kenmore01 The loyalty should be to the dollar and not the employer. In my experience, the employers "care" about you on the surface. However, deep down you know that you're expendable.
@@KP-xi4bj Oh, I know it! My employer canned me as quickly as looking at me last year over a minor thing. This after eight years loyal service. The very day, pay stopped as well as all benefits (insurance.) Believe me, I have NO loyalty to any employer after that once they say the magic words "at will employment " notice etc are our the window!
If your resumes show a lot of job hops, then your resume may be discarded. Employers don't want to invest resources that may stay for mere months. 18-30 months seem to be a golden number. Enough time to show you're competent and skill up in your previous role. Some employers value variety of experience as well. Source: myself :)
absolutely. Don't go into a job and then leave. Employers will discriminate and see you as disloyal. They have to spend thousands of dollars hiring, training, and developing you. A few months on the job is not going to make you profitable to them. Stay for 2-3 years before leaving if you haven't been promoted or your salary hasn't risen. When an employer sees gaps in your resume or that you have had 8 different jobs in the past two years, they will think there is something wrong with that person who can't land a stable job
@@ephraimsimable While that may work for someone in your case, a lot of employers do think that skipping around doesn't reflect well on that employee. They think that the employee can't handle jobs and switch from one to another with little dedication. Training employees costs thousands for employers, so if they suspect you might jump at the nearest opportunity, they may be resonate to hire you despite your qualifications and background. If they have to do costly training periods, and then wait a few months until you are really profitable to them and have the knowledge to be successful, then if you leave, you show a lack of discipline to future employers who may see your resume and have red flags going off because you are job hopping and not a serious candidate. I get that jumping jobs can raise your salary, but I would caution against doing it at such a vigorous rate because it could backfire and result in long periods of unemployment. Employers hate hiring people and high turnover, they want long-term employees who are more valuable than fresh hires whom they have to train and develop. In that case, then it is advantageous to show that you are capable of staying long-term and willing to play ball with employers. I would say that 2-3 and then jump is a good rate of finding new jobs. It gives you stability, but also it provides employers a level of trust that they know you will stay with them. It can increase the odds of landing a job in the future as it shows you want to stay and develop as a candidate. I do get that if you are in a dead-end job with little prospects of moving up, then I would say you should job hop, but still, you should stay for one year at that company, and then move.
Being laid off is the best. A severance package and time to unwind from a stressful job was just when I needed after my last two positions where I wash just not enjoying it anymore. I qualified for unemployment too, so I wasn't really stressed out while I was in between jobs. As a 35yo millennial, I do value loyalty, but I've learned about the importance of moving on when necessary. Always have that resume/portfolio updated, your network close, LinkedIn active, and skills sharpened. Waiting to get laid off is not always gonna be the best bet, so setting yourself up for success by being prepared for the next great opportunity is crucial.
I just reviewed resumes a few days ago! I get people will change jobs, but I can say that I won't be hiring someone who has had a new job every 3 months. I don't need a blood oath commitment, but I don't want to have to hire and train a new person to replace you in 3 -5 months.
Switch jobs???? Jobs are going away, and not coming back, 99 cent store just closed, and California raised minimum wage wage to $20/hr but it doesn’t matter because everything else will go up even more than the “raise”……. Bottom line we need more money and livable wages out here, there’s nothing you can say, we need more money!!!
The problem is if they look at your resume and know you are a job hopper, they probably wont hire you or may ask you why you switch job early excluding layoff.
I came to the US with 500 dollars. I got a STEM masters with a fellowship,working part time jobs. Started at 65k, 10 years later make easily over 500k a year, just by working jobs that offer equity. Don’t lose your time working for someone else’s dream without any equity. Buy into the vision - let them invest in you through their stock comp, so when they make money, you too will.
Great video. We are all seeking for financial independence and a better way of life. This is not difficult to achieve with savvy investing, a frugal lifestyle, and cautious budgeting. I'm glad I learned early on to work hard for financial independence with the help of my FA Anna Rounds Fay. As Warren Buffet said, he has seen this happen many times in his life. Not an investor, My wife and i never earned more than a middle class salary. We plan to get retired at 58 with a stock portfolio worth $1.7M. We have never sold so much as one share of stock.
People don't really know this, You need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, through thick or thin while also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.

I have been with a Fortune 500 company for 10 years. Haven't seen much growth, and my salary has been stagnant. I have been applying for other jobs, no interview but got one and start in a month. I feel like I'm having an affair. I'm holding my 10 year job by going on a leave of absence so I could try this new one which pays $15,000 more a year. I plan to work both eventually until I feel the new job is a fit for me. But everything said in this video resonates with me: - Career Advancement - Higher Pay - Toxic Environment - Better Benefits
Depends on many factors: is it the career you want? Are you getting raises, career mobility? Flexibility? That all needs to be factored in. But off top 3-4 is long enough for one position. It used to be 3-5 but today it could even be 2-3.

Don’t get to close to the sun. Dont get into a job where you are paid way to high vs what revenue you produce the company. You’ll be the first one to get the boot to reduce costs.
Be an asset.
Yup AT THE END THE DAY YOU ARE JUST A NUMBER TO THEM!! FORGET THE NONSENSE!!
Goes both ways. Employers also get the most out of their employees.
My supervisor just left after 20 years which is really sad and she just finally hit 6 figures last year. Now she is a director for a rival company making double. It honestly doesn't make sense that companies do not value long term employees anymore.
Bc they wanna save money by firing long term employees to hire fresh ones with a lower rate
Yea but it costs so much to bring new employees on board, it makes 0 sense
Long term means nothing to most companies. It's the value an employee brings and the cost to keep him/her that matter. Almost any job is replaceable these days.
If you ever managed employees, you would see that most slack off & become complacent after years on the job. There’s always the star employee that should move on.
Personally, my approach was to call them out, figure what I could do to keep the train going & motivate my team.
@@fr3ddy1461it makes sense because they don't want to pay higher salaries. It's about costs and employees are assets. They are already planning for AI to take the jobs so they can make even more money.
Gone are the days when employees used to work for a single company their whole life. It's better to switch companies nowadays than climb the corporate ladder. Don't fall for the "we are a family" BS. Just switch jobs every few years and do something on the side. That way you don't have to worry about anything.
Watch out for those employment contracts and non competes. They can effect future employment and even your ability to collect unemployment.

Whatever you do, don’t change jobs just because you’ve hit x number of years. It’s a case by case basis. Your situation is unique, so you need to consider it in isolation.
It should be put feelers out there. Shouldn’t leave without assessing your options and current state
Switch jobs only if you're not progressing. As long as you're getting promotions/ raises or the job is serving your goals, stay. As soon as they start giving the 0.2% yearly raise, dip.

Job requirements, you need to be learning or earning. If neither are occuring, it's time to find a new employer.
The simple answer is stay as long as it benefits you or are happy. It should not come as a surprise that you are dispensable and will be laid off at a moments notice no matter how long or how many extra hours free work you put it in.
Just make sure not to get too complacent with work. It’s important to keep learning new things to avoid becoming obsolete.

The ideal time scale is 3 years at each job
3 is a strong amount of time no one questions the length, it is long enough to justify being promoted a grade up in your next move.
I mostly agree - I think it scales as you climb. A couple of 2-3 year positions in the beginning of your career is perfect, but as you rise in the ranks this should become more like 5-7 years or it could look suspicious. Unless of course you are miserable in the job, then definitely get out of that situation.
@@mykki.dAs you progress in your carrier I think you are less inclined to switch in the first place.
- Your salary usually grow quickly in your first 10 years, if you dont go above certain managerial roles your real wage will eventually stagnate even if you switch jobs.

@@collan580i tend to disagree, move often tonget what you need.
Pretty much agree. Also depends on the company you work for, cause if they are giving you regular promotions it might make sense to stay longer than 3 years
Nah, that is just too much time. I 4x my starting salary staying 6-8 month in companies. Job hopping is the way to go at least for my generation, which is Gen Z. No point on staying longer than a year.
I switched jobs until the pay was right for the amount of responsibility, the culture was right and I could continue to save, invest and pursue my side hustle to replace the main hustle. Now that I'm there, I'm happy and don't plan on leaving until I'm able to leave the workforce entirely. Be strategic when switching jobs, you may invite other problems you didn't have previously.
95% of US workers said they plan to look for a new job in 2024? That is an absolutely insane stat. Like, completely mindboggling. Enough to assume that it's probably not even remotely accurate
They probably used a very broad set of options which amounted to "I plan on looking at other job postings", "I plan on seeing competitor's salaries", "I would like to earn more money", etc. with only one option for "I plan on staying where I'm at" as the "No" response to "do you plan on looking for a new job in 2024?"
I’m a part of the 5%.
They also seemed surprised that entry age workers don’t stick around at their job flipping burgers than older ages. I always question mainstream media data.
Yeah, I was looking for this comment. When I hear a radical number like that I tend to distrust everything that comes after. If you're exaggerating that key data point, your insights are not all that insightful.

The mistake I see people make the most when trying to get a new job is not negotiating their new salary. Don’t be afraid to counteroffer.
Especially if you have a job currently. I made that mistake before, but this time gave a counter and they accepted.
Yeah I considered this but also I considered that since this was my first position in the industry I am in, I didn't have any leverage or direct experience. Now after a year and a half, I'm way more experienced then when I first started, the only reason I haven't started applying for other positions is because I want to get some certifications under my belt before I leave.
Thanks for the insight, could you perhaps share how do you exactly counteroffer that does not put you into a position of possible offer rejection?
I am 44 and doing this. Was a stay at home mome until my marriage fell apart in 2019. Started at 45k, promoted to 55k, switched companies to earn 90k. That was 20 months ago.

I stayed at my first employer for 20 years. It was hard walking away from a $100k+ engineering salary and six weeks PTO in a low cost state. Oh and a Pension as well.
But when I realized our net worth was $2.5 million at age 43 and we lived a simple life below our means...I convinced myself money wasn't everything and time to do a career change.
Now making 50% less but super low stress and the net worth is actually $4.7 million now.
No more commute or pointless meetings actually came with this new job. Nothing beats using your own bathroom and kitchen on the clock. I spent more time around my kids during their high school years and finally was able to see them come home from school after all these years which was pretty important to me as a parent. Make them a snack, ask them about their day, etc.
Life is pretty easy and relaxing now in my mid-40's....I quickly fall asleep at night and no longer think about work outside of work hours..... sometimes even on the clock I don't think about work.
You just have to find a way to reach a point to convince yourself money and title isn't everything.

Payment has very little to do with skills
I went from just under 42k as a high school teacher in 2021 to 55k in my first assistant professor position. A year later (2022), I moved to a research university, making 65k. In 2023, we got a raise that put me at just over 68k. We're getting another that will put me over 70k in Fall 2024. So, in 3 years, my full-time income increased by approximately 30k. With my other remote teaching gigs, I make well over 100k. I don't regret job hopping!
Teaching is awesome! I'm an adjunct myself on the side and it's one of the most easygoing, satisfying jobs I've ever had, and pretty good pay.
What do you teach? Did you get a PhD when you got your first assistant professor position?
Wow. Which state? $65,000 for a university professor is not too much. You can make that amount working a blue collar job at a younger age. Trying to become a teacher was my biggest mistake in life. It made me fall behind in life, career, and finance. I work now in tech making 68k and the job did not require a degree nor much experience.

when they gave 2.5-3.5% every year even with good performance, no wonder people leaving left and right. Effectively making less when the inflation.
It takes a significant amount of effort to rotate to another role and learn the aspects of company and job functions. I think/feel the older you get, the desire to constantly hop becomes burdensome. Tenure can create experience and expertise, which many employers do want.

Example: Company (A) might prefer older individuals, because of maturity and commitment. While company (B) might prefer younger folks, because of lower pay and the welcome of new ideas. It's all a part of the culture, structure, and innovation. This is only a small part of the overall.💯

The most important point is missed: immigration status. If you are a US citizen or a lawful permanent resident, you can hop as many times as you want. But legal immigrants are not following this pattern. Once a company sponsors you for H1B or a green card, you are on the hook for the next 3-4 years or even decades. Every career change is a well-planned venture because the risk is high, especially during layoffs. You are given only 60 days to find another job or must leave the country. For people with families, mortgages, kids at schools and other assets/liabilities, this is insane. No one talks about this modern form of unfreedom, but many people I know who went through this immigration hell are great managers and leaders. Grit is what makes them great.

In my experience, when working for someone else, e.g. not self-employed, there are two constants. One, you cannot get rich working for someone else. Two, you're expendable, e.g. the employer can let you go at any time. My advice for job hoppers is to be loyal only to the mighty buck. Find the job where you get paid the most amount of salary with the least amount of work and the least amount of stress.

Jump early in your career, and ease back and off as you grow older.
Like the video said, the majority of Senior Levels are the Veterans at that company.
I’m going to be as honest as possible. If you’re not planning on making that job a career long term less than 2 years and switch jobs. The reason I say that is because you don’t want to get too comfortable in a job that you cannot live with the rest of your life making that crappy salary. Although I’m positive with rent increases everyone has at least two jobs. Which is good, you gotta do what you gotta do to pay your rent but career wise never get to comfortable unless you plan on staying there trust me.
Two jobs are not always good for me nothing is more essential than being well. You won't be able to move around to buy anything or engage in any activity if your health isn't good, regardless of rising prices. In addition, working longer hours means spending a lot of time with toxic coworkers, which is stressful at work and bad for one's mental health. Then, imagine this: if you spend several hours performing a bodily hazardous job, guess what? In other ways, it damages the body and increases stress. Starting a side hustle or investing that's not stressful is the best course of action if the person needs that extra money.
Best advice I ever received was don't have loyalty to a company because they will not remain loyal to you in the downtimes. I avoided being laid off recently by leaving and gaining a better job

"Finding out what the opportunities are within your company involves an uncomfortable conversation with your manager."

Employers are absolutely not human, especially in small, founder-run, private companies. They want you to stay, but don’t give you the “culture” or pay that would actually make employees want to stay.

I think you have to do what’s best for you and your future. What you want from your career and what you expect from a company will play a key part in staying long term or leaving in the short term. But I still believe there are small number of companies that value you and your work as an employee and will treat you with respect and reward you with appreciation and higher compensation.
If you don't know what you are doing in your new job, congratulations, you have found a job that is challenging and the next step up. When you fully know every facet of the job and it becomes tedious, it is here where you should consider asking for a promotion, or try switching companies or agencies if you work in government.
Just swapped all of my last ETH and swapped it into Blcktken300 . Already up a little bit. Unfortunately I have some other junk staked which won’t free up for a while. Still now I am on the train!

@2:37 yes, higher pay isn't the only thing that would make me happier. But it's far more important than the other things he listed and throughout this video. I'd rather make $100K and have terrible coworkers than make $50K and work with best friends.
Depends how long you've you're willing to put up with terrible co-workers. Eventually, you end up being terrible like them or become their victim.
If co-workers are constantly trying to throw you under the bus, then you might not have the 100k job very long. If you can happily make 50k without fear of losing your job, it's possible that the consistent paycheck would end up allowing you to have earned more money than constantly losing your job due to crappy work envrionments.
Been loyal to a company for 1.5 years putting in extra effort on weekends and working long hours as it was my first company and they even did training.
Got laid off at end of jan. The worst part is that people who don't work at all are still working there.
Still looking for job and decided to not give a damn to a company from now on.
That’s right people tend to love sycophants than Brutal truth tellers employees
Loyal for 1.5 years ? Lol so you supposed to stay only for a few months in a job ?
@winwinwin282828 if I wasn't laid off I would have stayed there lot longer, and during the 1.5years I didn't have a single thought of leaving for a better place even though some left as soon as they completed training for 50% hike.
I usually try to stay at least a year or two at a job. Though with the current job I have I'm actually planning to stay for a few years at least. They have really good pay, amazing benefits, and they actually care about their workers because they are financially incentivized to as they are employee owned.
I accepted a 40% wage cut and switched job for visa support. Sucks to be a visa slave!
What was your plan, though??
@videostoviews2262 After getting a green card, probably gonna work for a private jet or airline.
Maybe I’m an “older” generation, but when I’m reviewing resumes I look at the frequency of job switching to determine if this person is worth spending time and money on to train them for the job. I can overlook switching after a short timeframe, but not if it’s consistently happening. I prefer to see candidates with a 3-4 year window at their former positions. If you’re jumping within a year frequently, there’s a good chance they you were fired or let go because you weren’t a good fit.
Not necessarily. I worked about 3 years in my first job out of college and then only worked 16 months in my last job. I am now somewhere else because it was a much better opportunity for life and family purposes and is now a place I’d like to build a foundation with. Not everyone who has frequent job hopping is because they were fired or shows lack of work ethic. I believe you have to look at the whole picture and figure out how that maybe something was happening with their personal life with family or something during those years. Your offer might be the offer they are seeking to give your company a major 10 years because that’s where they want to start their foundation. There are a lot of bad company cultures and managers so some people are moving around because perhaps the people that work there are absolutely terrible to work around. I do understand where you’re coming from though, just kind of a side thought on how we do need to look at people as people too.
At the same time, everyone is pretending to be a company. If a company gives another company a bad deal, there is then no further business. People are perfectly willing to just take their business elsewhere at the drop of a dime
@@tmi4507 Employers don't GAF about employee's personal lives.
And that's why you should not be in a position of reviewing resumes. Like everything... it's not what you know but whom you know.
@@tmi4507 - All valid points and I try my best to give someone the benefit of the doubt. If the person is just starting their career often they are switching jobs more often to figure out what they want to do. It’s still important as a manager to determine what they are looking for from our company. If what we want from them aligns with their career goals, then there’s a better chance they’ll stick around.
Use these companies. Capitalism doesn’t care about you. Get all you can.
Gen X here. I have been an engineer for a big local government entity for the last 34 years moving from one department to the next. I will be retiring this year with a pension that pays 72% of my current income for life with COLA. When I die my spouse gets 50% of my pension for life with COLA. So think "strategically" about how long you want to STAY on your job.
I do not believe 45% of Americans said they need higher salaries I can guarantee it is above 90% and all who like this comment agree.
Get into contracting! You work 6-12 months for one company and then go work another 6-12 months for another company yet you’ll make more money everytime you switch because you’re increasing your skillset at a faster pace. A lot of staffing agencies offer 401k and insurance. Just keep rolling it over into your own retirement account. The goal is keep pushing for more money!
You make more money in the corporate world than
I was in banking for 10 years and changed jobs five times. Each time I switched, I received a significant increase in pay. I never gave a two-week notice, and I disliked how they would criticize me, calling it “unprofessional” or “not right.” I work in California, and it is at-will employment; just as they can let me go on the spot, I have the right to leave without a two week notice. To managers out there, stop pushing that rhetoric.
It’s not personal; it’s just business.
I don't believe in giving 2 weeks notice. I've been fired or let go without notice. When I have given 2 weeks they still hadn't tried looking for my replacement. If I was that valuable to them they should have better compensated me or treated me well in the first place to not want to leave.
Quitting without notice is unprofessional.
As for the "they can fire me whenever they want" counterargument that unprofessional people use to justify their behavior, most companies offer severance pay during layoffs. They also pay into unemployment insurance you can access after a layoff.
@@dohczeppelin37 How is it unprofessional? Both parties contractually agree on it.
@@dohczeppelin37 A lot of companies do not offer severance packages. There is not unemployment insurance for most. You're talking about professionals and Fortune 500 companies. The majority of us who aren't union, don't have a college degree, don't work in a professional setting aren't afforded courtesys, professionalism, rights. Screw the employer. If you took care of your people they wouldn't want to leave you.
@Davo-jd7ey Quitting without notice is disruptive and leaves a mess for others to clean up. That's not how mature adults handle themselves.
Companies don't have to pay severance during layoffs, so why do they? Because it's the professional thing to do.
When salary adjustments are less than inflation uear after year after year, its tough to maintain loyalty. Esp when loyalty is not reciprocal.
Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $14,120.47 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️❤️
Sure, the investment-advisor that guides me is..
Mrs Lee Wallace Stacey
Her services is the best, I got a brand new Lambo last week and paid off my mortgage loan thanks to her wonderful services!
Wow wow please is there any way to reach there services, I work 3 jobs and trying to pay off my students loan for a while now!! Please help me
Make a note to Her regarding your interest in investing
I increased my income from 38k to 75k by switching jobs from a company who refused to promote me after 4 years being with them. Always keep looking for better paying jobs every 1-2 years if you aren't satisfied with your work.
Do we consider only switching companies as job switch or also switching position within the same company? It can be someone works in 10 different positions at the same company, and someone else works at 10 different companies but always in 1 position. Does the first example come into the job switching statistics?
You need to use your employer, the same way they use you. I’ve worked at 4 large organizations over my working decade post graduation. I’ve received better hours, better commutes, increased pay, tuition reimbursement, 401k matches that rolled over, and pension style accounts that I got to keep. You need to look at the entire compensation package and evaluate it regularly to determine if this is the right place to continue working
Wrong time to discuss about leaving jobs when there is a brutal job market
Younger generations always value career advancement more than others. Later in life they realize money is more important and the no matter how hard you work you are still behind financially takes over. If you know you know.
The real key? Put as much away as you possibly can into a retirement fund, hopefully matched by your employer and do as much as they will match. Often 10% of your income. Also in addition, put some into their stock plan if they seem like a good investment. You may be able to buy discounted stocks. You will be surprised how it builds up. I went from in-debt to retirement in about eight years by socking as much as I could away. I'm older but the job was average-ish pay. Not in the hundred thousands, but I managed to save enough in that time to stop working by being careful how I spent and investing in my future. That beats job hopping any day!
Why not do both if it's possible?
@@KP-xi4bj you can of course, but it may get messy with separate 401ks and stocks strewn around. If it gets you more money, it's probably worth it, but you may lose desirability to an employer if you job hop regularly.
@@kenmore01 The loyalty should be to the dollar and not the employer. In my experience, the employers "care" about you on the surface. However, deep down you know that you're expendable.
@@KP-xi4bj Oh, I know it! My employer canned me as quickly as looking at me last year over a minor thing. This after eight years loyal service. The very day, pay stopped as well as all benefits (insurance.) Believe me, I have NO loyalty to any employer after that once they say the magic words "at will employment " notice etc are our the window!
Glossed over the main reason. People usually don't leave jobs, they leave managers.
If your resumes show a lot of job hops, then your resume may be discarded. Employers don't want to invest resources that may stay for mere months. 18-30 months seem to be a golden number. Enough time to show you're competent and skill up in your previous role. Some employers value variety of experience as well. Source: myself :)
Exactly what I've been told since my first job in 1974.
I respectfully disagree.
absolutely. Don't go into a job and then leave. Employers will discriminate and see you as disloyal. They have to spend thousands of dollars hiring, training, and developing you. A few months on the job is not going to make you profitable to them. Stay for 2-3 years before leaving if you haven't been promoted or your salary hasn't risen. When an employer sees gaps in your resume or that you have had 8 different jobs in the past two years, they will think there is something wrong with that person who can't land a stable job
12 month is minimum. even if you hate it, hold on for a year.
@@ephraimsimable While that may work for someone in your case, a lot of employers do think that skipping around doesn't reflect well on that employee. They think that the employee can't handle jobs and switch from one to another with little dedication. Training employees costs thousands for employers, so if they suspect you might jump at the nearest opportunity, they may be resonate to hire you despite your qualifications and background. If they have to do costly training periods, and then wait a few months until you are really profitable to them and have the knowledge to be successful, then if you leave, you show a lack of discipline to future employers who may see your resume and have red flags going off because you are job hopping and not a serious candidate. I get that jumping jobs can raise your salary, but I would caution against doing it at such a vigorous rate because it could backfire and result in long periods of unemployment.
Employers hate hiring people and high turnover, they want long-term employees who are more valuable than fresh hires whom they have to train and develop. In that case, then it is advantageous to show that you are capable of staying long-term and willing to play ball with employers. I would say that 2-3 and then jump is a good rate of finding new jobs. It gives you stability, but also it provides employers a level of trust that they know you will stay with them. It can increase the odds of landing a job in the future as it shows you want to stay and develop as a candidate.
I do get that if you are in a dead-end job with little prospects of moving up, then I would say you should job hop, but still, you should stay for one year at that company, and then move.
It’s pretty simple, treat me right and pay me fairly.
What is a "fair" pay? If you respond, please let me know what state you live in or if it's a high cost of living. Thanks!
Being laid off is the best. A severance package and time to unwind from a stressful job was just when I needed after my last two positions where I wash just not enjoying it anymore. I qualified for unemployment too, so I wasn't really stressed out while I was in between jobs.
As a 35yo millennial, I do value loyalty, but I've learned about the importance of moving on when necessary. Always have that resume/portfolio updated, your network close, LinkedIn active, and skills sharpened.
Waiting to get laid off is not always gonna be the best bet, so setting yourself up for success by being prepared for the next great opportunity is crucial.
I just reviewed resumes a few days ago! I get people will change jobs, but I can say that I won't be hiring someone who has had a new job every 3 months. I don't need a blood oath commitment, but I don't want to have to hire and train a new person to replace you in 3 -5 months.
3 months is a long time to stay at one job.
Switch jobs???? Jobs are going away, and not coming back, 99 cent store just closed, and California raised minimum wage wage to $20/hr but it doesn’t matter because everything else will go up even more than the “raise”…….
Bottom line we need more money and livable wages out here, there’s nothing you can say, we need more money!!!
I’ve been at my company for 10 years. They treat me really well, pay me a lot and I like working there.
The problem is if they look at your resume and know you are a job hopper, they probably wont hire you or may ask you why you switch job early excluding layoff.
Don’t add every job
I came to the US with 500 dollars. I got a STEM masters with a fellowship,working part time jobs. Started at 65k, 10 years later make easily over 500k a year, just by working jobs that offer equity. Don’t lose your time working for someone else’s dream without any equity. Buy into the vision - let them invest in you through their stock comp, so when they make money, you too will.
Sounds exactly like my father in 1979 who came to the USA 🇺🇸 with only $100 which is $500 something in today’s money. 💰 he is retired now at age 71
Great video. We are all seeking for financial independence and a better way of life. This is not difficult to achieve with savvy investing, a frugal lifestyle, and cautious budgeting. I'm glad I learned early on to work hard for financial independence with the help of my FA Anna Rounds Fay. As Warren Buffet said, he has seen this happen many times in his life. Not an investor, My wife and i never earned more than a middle class salary. We plan to get retired at 58 with a stock portfolio worth $1.7M. We have never sold so much as one share of stock.
People don't really know this, You need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, through thick or thin while also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
It was easy to find your handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I just reached out to her through her web.
Investors need to exercise caution with their exposure and be mindful of new purchases, particularly during times of inflation. It's advisable to seek the guidance of a professional or trusted advisor, as high yields in this economic climate can be challenging to navigate
Always focus on money, don't listen to those who tell you else
22? What kind of master-degree can you present to any employer at this age? A bacelor-degree won't get you far, career wise.
Studies and experiences will define what I'll do for living. Be part of a team and then keep up for get through tasks and objectives is what I like to do. Relations enables to arrive at the finish line.
I have been with a Fortune 500 company for 10 years. Haven't seen much growth, and my salary has been stagnant.
I have been applying for other jobs, no interview but got one and start in a month. I feel like I'm having an affair. I'm holding my 10 year job by going on a leave of absence so I could try this new one which pays $15,000 more a year.
I plan to work both eventually until I feel the new job is a fit for me. But everything said in this video resonates with me:
- Career Advancement
- Higher Pay
- Toxic Environment
- Better Benefits
Depends on many factors: is it the career you want? Are you getting raises, career mobility? Flexibility? That all needs to be factored in. But off top 3-4 is long enough for one position. It used to be 3-5 but today it could even be 2-3.
