The best people DON’T always get ahead or get promoted. Sometimes they are just the loudest, fakest, pushy-est or best connected. We’ve all seen that happen, have we not?
Only 90% of my management team is like that. 😆
My PM told me that I am one of the two top performers in the company. He "cannot express just how much [I am] valued"... But the company just got rid of bonuses, never gives above a 3% raise, and I was just told I should expect less moving forward because the company needs to "stay competitive." You are right that top performers aren't always valued.
@@SeniorSundayI've been told that too! I hope you get appreciated and paid your worth (whether at your current job or at a future one)
@@mariagabbott Thank you! I've been here for two years and only stayed because I love the work and am genuinely learning something new. I got the news last week and am already looking for other jobs.
If you're too good at your current job, you'll NEVER get a promotion.
The ppl who do the best job always get rewarded with more work in my experience.
Fact.
If you're exceptional, the people above you will get more money because of your efforts, and you will get more duties added to the job you agreed to do in the first place.
No pay raise though, obviously. Who do you think you are, an executive who counts money for a living? Go back to work and act happy.
I CONCUR
Because you have never learned to say No the right way. If you are in a company with good core values and culture, it is in their best interest to know that you are taking in more work than you are being paid for. One thing you need to learn in life is that if something is not going your way, you do not just make a 180 degree turn. You do certain actions that compliment what you are doing now and see if that works. In your case or your company's, communication can be improved. This Woke girl saying you need to leave after 2 years is giving the wrong message to the already lost Gen Zs
Yup, the saying is if you want something done give it to a busy person.
Yup… and the better employees get reprimanded. slackers: no disciplinary action.
My friends from college were job hoppers. As they say, they get 20% at each job change. For seven years, I was mulling over if I was doing something wrong with staying on an underpaid and overworked job for seven years.
But you know what? When I changed jobs, I got a 260% jump in monthly pay because I was able to use the skills and experiences to fix a lot of issues on the new one. I even have time for part-time jobs for extra cash because I'm finding my full-time 80% easier than my previous one and I'm paid 3.6x higher.
Sometimes, it pays more to fill your attributes before your wallet.
Not to mention that if you're a specialist of any kind you're burning bridges because there aren't that many places to work overall in your area. Yeah you can move, but there is a ton involved in that.
Yall just scared lmapooo 20 percemt each jump 3 times in 6 years yeah that's way better its work not a relationship grow up
@xxjunedamogulxxlopez3112 so your 60 % increase is somehow better than his 260% increase that explains more than what I need to say
That's an awesome jump. Your skillset was probably way high for that previous pay. I did lateral moves several times to gain experience then finally landed a 90% pay bump with the right job
If I scan your resume and notice that you have the tendency to jump job every 2 o 3 years, your resume will automatically go in the trash bin.
As someone that has changed jobs regularly, chasing money isn't always the answer. A lower paid job you actually enjoy with colleagues you like actually improves your life more than the money.
I'm still trying to find that lol
@@Doors067the lower pay part is easy!😂😂😂
Yes, the whole package. Makes a big difference
If you’ve changed jobs regularly and still haven’t met colleagues that you enjoy.
You just might be the problem. I’ve met great ppl and enjoyed them at most of my companies.
I’m actually going back to a job that I left that had a great team and now I have even more pay.
The current job, they love me as well.
Sorry, I don’t have those problems
I did this and money follows me, its not always about money, its about environment you prefer were you trully grow, you need to grow out of your comfort zone my ass, are always lines of loudest bitches but no substance
I've been working in my company for the tenth year this year. In my entire career there is no promotion, no salary increase, no incentives Nada at all but I still stayed because it was the easiest place where I can be at peace with myself (no competition, no "deadline" and even if there was, overtime work is not requirement). For someone like me who has multiple conditions and maintenance meds, I can only be grateful 😊😊
That sounds great. May I ask what you do for a living?
@@Andrea-vr2eq Simple office work. We generate bills for an energy company.
This obviously doesn't apply to you, this is for people who aren't broken, lifelong worker bees
@@am3ria True probably for single, unattached, flighty people.
@@brittanyhalstead6034 Sadly, I've seen married couples hustle to very challenging degrees as much as single people. The environments and the people surrounding them can also break a person to a degree, too. ☹️
My friend used to do this, then got called out by potential employers in interviews because they noticed in his resume he never worked for more than two years at any company
Yes, as a hiring manager I see it as a red flag when people jump around too much. I would rather see a history of promotions at the same company.
@@nectarinepie952What if there’s literally zero room to grow at said company? Like in my case, they have some BS rule where only one team member per year can get a promotion and I’m the newest one on a team of 9 people…how am I going to outperform 8 other more experienced employees?
@@artificiallyunintelligent4537don't worry about what a company wants to do to limit your career
you manage your career actively (jump ship every 2 or 3 years).
when everything boils down to what important THEY don't give a damn about you.
take what you want & move on.
get used to travelling lite (no attachments).
your personal life maintain separately from professional...that way you have consistency of relationships when you move around you always got friends
@@artificiallyunintelligent4537then find another company with more opportunities. But if you're leaving every company after 2 years, it's not a good look.
And she's bullshtting
A 10-15% increase ? That has NEVER been the case
Exactly. One of the first things they look for is consistency.
My husband did that and it was exhausting for us. Yes, he made more money but it took a toll on us.
Yes, it sounds very exhausting. My first year or two at any company was exhausting because it takes a while to learn the ropes and the culture. Plus a 10 or 15 percent raise with a terrible medical plan that has a high deductible sun really a raise. Sometimes, staying put is just fine.
Thank you for sharing that. I concur. That is not really a peaceful process all the time.
I was thinking the same...who has the enery , ambition to deal with that ...not to mention the stress..
She said raise or leave. People can stay so long as they do what they can to stay. Sometimes that means moving to another team or department. And if you’re the lucky few working at a job that regularly gives real raises and not just cost of living raises, good for you. We all have to make the best decisions for ourselves and our families. My friend needs stability in her life because she battles medical and mental health issues. She knows she’s losing out on higher income but job stability is what she needs. Nothing wrong with that. Her advice to us is not intended for everyone. She is simply stating statistics for those who care about money.
@@lydiapetra1211You’re essentially losing money every year by not getting pay bumps due to inflation. Both scenarios may be considered difficult. Choose your hard, someone who wants better for themselves and want to improve their lifestyle and impact on the world if they’re that type of person is going to choose to improve.
Rip introverts who don’t like to brag about themselves
I'm an introvert. I don't brag. But I do make sure my work quality and effort is seen. Management will notice. Plus you don't need to brag to leave and search for a better job. Learning this now after settling and being quiet/ too humble/ shy for too long.
Now I just think of it as a transaction. Cost benefit analysis. Does it benefit me to stay here.
I get what you mean.
@@calmingbabysleep1256 I’ve been in the workforce for 15 years and I’ve learned at 4 different corporate positions that management rarely care or can do anything about good work quality. They see it, they know it, they have a boss and they can’t do shit about it. They’re there to get their hours. Also I live in Washington, and with the current economy, finding another position that pays me better with good job security is next to impossible. I’ve been searching for 3 years, going on 4 now. I’ve had workmates that found new jobs and were laid off the same year. That is not something I can afford to let happen. I’ve been constantly getting my pay upgraded but the pay up from either raise or job change can barely catch up to how fast inflation is happening. The only solutions at this point is a second job, start a small business, or move. With elderly in the house, moving just isn’t realistic. Small businesses take investment and may flop, and second job means no life and more stress.
If you have the liberty to leave a job and then search for a new one, you’re living a luxury most Americans (and Canadians, I’m both) aren’t. I don’t think I’ve ever stopped searching for jobs. I may take a year break in between when I first start a new one but after that, I’m looking. It’s not about benefits of staying, it’s about the consequences of leaving and having no income even for a couple of months.
How does bragging correlates to what she said
@@itsnevertoolate5123 it's an excuse. Easy to stay in the comfort zone and blame introversion OR maybe lack of life experience and confidence
Forbes also says a successful job or career is finding something you truly enjoy that makes you happy.
she’s not wrong BUT remember that her advice is focused on optimizing pay and a strategy for making the most money you can - she’s not taking into account work satisfaction, work/life balance, or just overall happiness with your job/career.
Exactly. What a short sighted and shallow view of work
@@etf42 I was also thinking that as a hiring manager, if I see a pattern of job hopping, that candidate would be at the bottom of my pile.
She's not taking into consideration family life either. It's rough on children to uproot them every 2-3 years and often times a job change means a location change.
Depends on the profession
Well put
I like how confidently this lady is saying all the things that could be ‘wrong’ for so many people. Let’s not generalize and pretend like we are ‘ know it all’
She got a 6 figure job on Wall Street straight out of college. I'm honestly sick of hearing the same advice time after time from people who started out with a higher wage than many people will see in their lifetimes.
@@TheOwlQueenplenty of people do the same, you could too
She also gave advises that felt only one sided and she never actually living as middle class
Omg I thought I was the only one who doesn't like her know-it-all attitude😂
She sounds like she’s pulling sh&t out of thin air and immediately contradicts herself
Two years is also when a job starts to get boring and you start feeling like a slave if it's not your dream job.
Second to that. I told them some days lol I felt this comment of yours 🙌🏾
💯
Facts 💯👌
That is literally always my issue. I get that itch to leave once two years hits smh
More like 6 months
I'm 6 years in where I work. I haven't moved to another company because no matter how much they are paying me, I know I will be flooded with work and I will be stuck in traffic every single day. Plus add the tolls, gasoline and the cost of eating out.
I rather enjoy working from home and not have to drive anywhere. I've saved so much just by staying home.
And yes, I have WAY BETTER BENEFITS than what I have been offered by other companies. I've been contacted by many recruiters and none have matched my benefits. I travel non-stop to different countries and I get time off from work (one month per year- this is not counting vacation time) to pursue higher academic goals. I have the option to decide if I want to jump to another city in another continent to work on a new project. And I get free health care. The company I work for pays for my yearly checkups. Win-win.
You got it right.
You can get other work from home jobs…
Comfort Zone is the dream killer.
@@DavidMay2nd this isn't necessarily a dream killer. Health must be a priority. Stress on the body comes at a cost. It's not worth it.
Money isn't everything
As a doctor myself, I'll be so scared of any doctors who leave a job every 2 years for a better pay. It takes time and practice to hone your skills as a doctor and to gather enough experience to become a specialist.
Sometimes we stay at a job that may not pay very well but it is the one that gives us the best clinical exposure.
Why? If you're doing the same job why should it matter
I agree, this does not apply to the more technical fields like architecture or engineering where a single building project spans two to three years, so quitting in Year 2 shows a lack of commitment. Not to mention, a year is hardly enough to even learn the culture of a new work place. She also doesn't know how ridiculously easy the economy has been in the last 12 years. It's been nothing except "boom" so people have the luxury of moving around in this manner. Once the bust happens, and we have a prolonged recession, it will be: remember that crazy time when people would jump from job to job every two years? (that option will not even exist anymore).
@@janek.5886but this is good for minimum wage workers and those who jobs doesn’t have much job growth. It’s best to get the experience for a few years then move on to something more high paying. It the fastest way of going to earning $20k a year to your salary becoming $50 and possibly a $100k a year. And when you do it when you’re much younger working age. It’s more beneficial for you in the long run to start making more than $50k or $60k a year in your lifetime. You retire more quickly earning more retirement money by doing this strategy. It’s smart very smart.
Not necessarily having to leave a job, but level up the one you’re in every 2 years. How can you increase the returns in your practice by 15% every two years? Taking on a partner? Changing the office location? Delegating a service?
It depends on the job. If you are a super specialized field like doctor, surgeon ect... It would be terrible if you switch every two years after committing so much for that type of job. However, other type of less specialized job I agree, especially if you are not recongnized and aren't paid much to begin with. In this day and age you need alot of money just to survive. Can't blame people to chase for that instead of job stability after all they have gone through since Covid-19 !!
2nd year at a job I asked for a significant raise (as I literally turned a dept around from red to green) and got told no because it’d make me one of the highest paid people at the company. Quit, found another job, I’m on the low end of comp here and making 40% more then my last job. I haven’t got a massive raise here in my 2nd year but work/life balance is great and I’m not over here saving depts lol. My advice is don’t get greedy.
Do you know what happened to the department that you turned around after you left? What about the company?
huh? u got greedy and it worked out good so what’s the issue
@@a55techif you really cant understand what this guy is saying then you shouldnt be taking advice from the video
@@mopillo88but he said hes getting 40% more at his new job than his last job, then says not to get greedy even thought thats what led to him getting a new job?
Her advice is horrible. If you leave every two years your 401K is not going to grow and you will be stuck with 10-15 vacation days a year. Most companies have 401K fully invested after 5 years. MY advice is to work at a company where you can grow and learn. If your are stuck doing the same redundant task you are not going to grow and will not get a raise.
This info is misguided…it doesn’t apply to all professions …
Nope.
Agreed. She couldn’t be more wrong.
Also this idea that those people get their bag and have since the dawn of time just isnt true.
I love the work-life balance you have when you stay at a place long enough though. Sure, in some parts she’s right…I’ve been at my work for 17 years and probably over my lifetime I might not make as much as someone new, but they also don’t get to accrue the benefits of seniority by hopping around. My seniority gives me up to 272 PTO hours a year and I’ve been paying into my 401k for 17 years with a 100% match of 5%. Staying with the same company has also given me other benefits such as free healthcare and a solid schedule. In my youth, I hustled and did all the shifts that work needed covered and by staying there I earned a better work-life balance with my family. So…if money is your motivation then cool. But there’s more to life than money. What’s the point of making all that money but not having enough PTO to do anything with it? Also, me being senior and also not commanding 10-15% raises and just accepting my 2-5% annually allows them to keep my expertise instead of paying a junior and retraining every 2 years.
@@Islandgirl06you realize how that last part of your comment is LITERALLY you explaining why your decisions give your employer an advantage instead of giving you an advantage? You said “it allows them to” cheap out by keeping your high level of expertise without normal retraining expenses or necessarily keeping salary pace with the market. They’re profiting off you.
I understand what you mean about PTO, healthcare and everything else, and if that is worth more to you then that’s great. However, keep in mind that people who simply earn more money often have the chance to retire early… that’s 365 days PTO.
That's all in an ideal world. We don't live in a world where everyone always gets what they deserve. A lot of times, those hard workers are taken advantage of and never promoted
That is why you need to leave. If they don't appreciate you enough to give you a raise or a promotion when you're a hard worker and stayed with them for 2 years they never will see your worth and they'll keep getting you for granted. You need to look for another job so you may get a better salary and new oportunities.
@@adelyna89, just ignore what she said. Not everyone is willing to relocate to another side of the country for 2% increase in salary.
Don’t listen to everything you hear - you won’t benefit from listening to this persons advice but you CAN benefit from listening to people in YOUR field
Totally agree.
Exactly. Advice like this is useless because it applies to just as many as it doesn't. 50/50...and the silent, suffering, regretful 50 won't be around to tell Forbes their side of the story.
@@AFO_AnalyRics absolutely,that’s the problem with social media these days. It’s too easy to be influenced by people who are hyper successful and you’re at home thinking you’re a loser because you haven’t achieved as much. It’s so bad man
At every place of employment I’ve been to there’s always been 1 employee that I’ve noticed that would continuously go above and beyond for our employers. But each of those employees were never paid what they should have received and were often overworked to compensate for other terrible coworkers. So I’d say not every situation is the same.
lol I’ve never seen that. They probably were incompetent and needed more work to get mediocre results.
This message of hers is for those people.
Under capitalism the only reward of a good work ethic is more work. 😂
@@AshnesssNah, you’ll be surprised how many people just slack off and how their colleagues have to pick up their slacking, sometimes because that person is more liked by the boss the other when you both are being assigned the job and it becomes a join responsibility, etc (they suck up to them).
@@monayunita6163 This does happen and when you’re not the favorited one, it’s time to leave.
I would say not every situation is same. Money is important but a good working environment, good understanding and appreciative boss/management and a good team of co workers are equally important. What if u have a higher paying job but a more toxic work environment? Besides leaving a job every two years will create a negative impression on ur resume.
Agreed. Your job is as good as your first line manager.
That is very true. If you do it consistently like clockwork, then it tells an employer you’re not going to stick around and hiring/training is a resource drain, you become the horse people won’t bet on.
The problem is , if you become a person like that , you’ll end up finding yourself in a position you’re grossly unqualified for eventually.
I took a pay cut just to work at a place with a better environment. I don’t care, my sanity was way more important and I’ll just reboot
Fully agree with you. Money should not be the only criteria is switching jobs
@supremacy2040 I'm considering on taking a paycut for a better work/life balance. I do have anxiety on making less but desperately need to take care of my mental health.
In 2019 I was an Operations Manager for a company in NJ. I was making 41k a year working salary, 6 days a week no health. I asked for a raise to be at 45k a year. Boss at the time said no cause I be making as much as him. Never got a raise at that job. Moved to a new job in 2021 making 45k a year, Sales Coordinator, 40 hours a week, with health. Ended that job making 52k a year. Moved to a new job in 2023 making 60k a year, salary, health, and remote.
Up and out.
My sister is an operations manager in Philly, she clears 130-140k a year.
You were severely underpaid.
@@goforbroke2 depends on the industry i guess. I was an OM for about a decade. The only time i really felt i made it financially was when i moved up to director post. OMs these days have varying salary range especially for US companies.
Woww criminal.
No ma’am! Your may need to change industries. You should be paid at least 110k in NJ
I've worked hard for my company and in return, I get to work from home, 15% pay increase every year, 20% for my promotions, and very flexible when I want to use PTO. I always tell people to work hard the first year, if they still treat you terrible, leave. If they reward you, stay.
I agree
Yes but that will be true up to the end of your pay band.
15% pay increases per year is amazing. You're clearly not the target of the advice. I've been there and know what she means. Those nonsense 3% "inflation raises" year after year will have you grossly lagging your market value after 5 years to the point where you are likely making 20% below market value if you stay. The only way to get that extra 20% is to leave.
The average person doesn’t have the luxury to just “Oop! Look at the time, I gotta find a better paying job now. See yah!” Not that easy sis. 👏
True, it is not easy buuuut will it ever be? Whilst it is not easy, one should definitely cultivate a foundation in which they can remove themselves from a workspace that will not allow them to grow in the way they deserve to.
She never said it was easy. In fact she said it's not easy.
@@thissupernova6491 yeah I’m trying to change jobs now. It’s currently sucking the life out of me, it’s been a process but hopefully all goes well.
Exactly
The point is not the you can't just easily find another job, but at a certain point, you need to start SHOPPING for a better opportunity if you're not getting it at your current job.
This worked wonders for me.
Job 1: 7 months (55K);
Job 2: 4 months (9% increase from prior job);
Job 3: 1.5 years (12% increase from prior job);
Job 4: 1.5 Years and one promotion (18% increase from prior job and left making 23.5% more than when I first joined);
Job 5: Started my own business making double my highest salary in Job 4.
If you're in a field of high demand and low supply, level up and job hop.
What field are you in?
@@TheBoxingNinja - Tech Consulting
@@BassBwoy3 Okay I figured you were in the tech field from stating at 55k and moving to 6 figures likely in a few years. Nice.
Don’t forget about seniority. In an unstable market you’ll be the first to be laid off if you change jobs every 2-3 years. Advice is never a one-fits-all situation.
Not true. If you’re competent and a good worker. A company will keep you as a newer higher over someone that has 20+ years and gets overpaid for their position when looking at compa ratio pay
Correct. As a small business owner, that kind of pay raise don't exist, especially during the recession. This may work for corporate but not for small businesses. Average raise is 2 to 5% every year. It takes longer than 2 years to "move up" position.
Seniority excuse is for union folks and not for private industry most of the time.
Since when do companies value seniority? lol maybe for the first round of layoffs but if they get rid of your entire department which happens more often than not, you are gone
Lol, acting like companies reward seniority. How cute. That hasn't been the case since pensions were a thing. You'll be replaced in two seconds if someone can do your job better or for less, you being there for a long time means nothing to then. Companies are not your friend and do not have your back.
My ex boyfriend hopped jobs like this for years. He has currently been unemployed for over 3 years. This doesn’t quite work the way she’s presented it. But switching up every 4 to 7 years might make more sense if you’re in a profession where you will actually earn more job hopping, although less frequently than she’s advising.
@donk8105 Same. It's a red flag.
Jumping ship before you have your replacement job is just plain stupid. When you realize you are not happy with your job, work conditions, salary, whatever, you start applying for new jobs. Stay in your current position until you have confirmation that the new job is yours.
@donk8105wouldn’t it be 5 employers in 10 years?
That’s not THAT crazy.
@donk8105 contract work doesn't exist?
@KsyAnn2121 did he do online courses to improve his skills during the 4 years?
As a nurse this is what many nurses do because they feel they have to…but it sucks. It sucks having such high turnover. It sucks for most of your staff to constantly be in training. It sucks for the patients who can’t build rapport with providers.
Yep you need get paid alot
What sucks for nurses is that the hospital they work for will start a permanent worker at $40 an hour but pay a traveling nurse $85 an hour.
Salary is important but there are other factors to consider before leaving a place.
Agreed!!!!
Kinda agree 50/50. Current job pays me abit average but I get to work from home time to time, chill, cool workers/company world wide and work is easy comparing to my older job higher pay. Also i live 10-20min away depend on traffic vs 1 hour
This Is How People Think In Relationships Nowadays Too🤣
Especially if you already have more than enough. What's the difference in quality of life between. 80k and 90k? Not much (depending on where you live but you get them point)
@@StephenIC 80k and 90k is a pretty huge difference, that's nearly half a year of rent where I live.
Although almost nobody is making 80k, lol.
This is EXACTLY the advice the system wants us to take- big corporations are always wanting to put the liability on the consumer. This country is ran like a business. They don't not have citizens, they have consumers. This advice negates the real issue at hand- cost of living and corporate greed. I want my neighborhood teachers to get raises and STAY. Not everyone is meant to be a principal, or a CEO or management.
Now, with that being said, this advice has merit solely because we refuse to pushback on this system. And since we won't, we will have to do anything and everything that is advantageous to us. We have entered the era of self-preservation.
👏🏿 well said.
This the realest comment I've read in a while
At the end of the day, we have to do what’s best for ourselves because the system won’t.
The world always have been about self preservation, its a fallen world.
We need to learn to refuse to stay in conformity. Every social relationship we are in is constructed around being in confort, which in the ends makes the one in power abuse those who feel are okay to push down. And this works at every sphere, in any place, and is specially notable to those who try to change things and are repressed for doing so with a reason.
But for the moment, the most we can do is to manuever through those spaces (which are specially enabled in work environments).
I'm a recruiter and this is true, it's bc companies don't give good raises. It's easier to move jobs and get a better pay increase. Just keep in mind eventually you will hit a cap. After the cap, higher pay will be a management position.
The point is to hit the cap fast while you are young. By 45, you should be knocking at the door for management to drive you into retirement.
@@choncha23or into burnout😅
@@choncha23 I guess everybody should become a manager.
I'm a hiring manager...a job every 2 years = flake, no point in hiring
@@choncha2345?? I’ve been in management since I was 25… and it was 7 years at that company with 3 promotions, then 3 1/2 years at the next one so now I only get contacted for executive positions
This advice is ok if you're in your 20s, but there's a lot pitfalls
- most companies start to think you're unreliable when they see every job you've done is 2 years or less
-if you get the job, you might not get full benefits, including health insurance, till you've been there at least a year
Job hopping is a lot harder with marriage, kids, aging parents, mortgages, car payments, student loans
- Let's not forget about ageism. Your resume can be great and skills sharp, but many 40s, 50s, 60s, + get overlooked for a 22 newbie.
You are right on it. Ageism is real and very much alive at this time.
I’ve only had one job where I worked for almost 5 years, every job following has been for less than a year… I’m in my early 30’s and just hit my first full year in what has been years of poor work history 😢
When in your 40's if not is Sr mgmt, the target is now on your back. By 50 you sd hv your house paid off and sufficient cash set aside to cover 1yr of expenses should you get laid off or even better be able to say eff you and retire. At 60, either have hit or very near your investment/retirement goals. The corporate reaper will be looking for you.
Also, when you are trusted, you get more flexibility. You don't always get that as a new hire. It took me years to be given flex work time.
How would employers even know your age just by looking at the resume? If you put on only recent job experience from the last 10 years at most unless youre applying for senior position, they would not likely discriminate you by age.
Yes. Kill experience, kill quality, kill mental health and go for money. Yes👍🏽
If only money isn’t tied to quality of life. Sure you survive with minimum wage, but that’s just surviving and not living. Chase that bag until you’re comfortable and enjoying life.
She never once talks about mental health or physical fitness and well being . Yes you can make more money but at what expense ?
@@robbyx6846gonna be honest with you, most people’s problems are solved with money. Includes mental health. If anything just get a chill remote office job.
Changing jobs isn't going to kill your mental health. Working >40hrs a week for 30% less than you could be making though?
I would argue you gain more experience and skills by working in different organizations with new people consistently. And changing jobs doesn’t mean blowing up your mental health, boredom and staleness have ruined many people’s mental stability.
I think the key here is “do I deserve a raise.” Not everyone is entitled to a 15% raise just because they’ve been clocking in for 2 years.
Depends on the career.
And where you live
Yeah it’s definitely not for all. But she did used to work on wall street so its defthe case in a field like that. It’s definitely very dependent though, also depends on your level of training
It’s not bragging! The best piece of career advice I’ve ever received was to keep a running list of your work accomplishments - big or small! Projects finished, processes you improved, quotas reached/exceeded, instances I overcame a conflict/impasse with a coworker, etc.
The first promotion I applied for, I assumed since my manager was interviewing me for it, she knew what I had accomplished. So I was completely caught off guard in the interview when she asked for a few examples. I came up with a few stats on the spot but I didn’t advocate for myself nearly as much as I could have if I had that prepared list. She’s the one that gave me the pointer after giving me the news I didn’t get the promotion.
Since then, the list I’ve kept has helped me promote and “job hop” my way into doubling my salary over the last four years. She is spitting facts.
Nah... i had a friend who jumped jobs once every year or every other year and did that for about 7-8 years. He was getting significantly more money as he moved but it got to a point where he moved around so much the next employer didn't want to hire him. They wanted stability and they didn't trust that he wouldn't bounce after a couple of years. Hes now stuck at a job he hates for the last 3-4 years because no one else wants to hire him. He bitches about it every time we hang out.
Just don’t quit before you have another job
He could just... omit from his resume lmao
@@dantheman2222 But then he would have gaps in his resume and potential employers would wonder why.
@@AnansitheSpider8 mom got ill and I had to take care of her, my own medical issues, shit find a friend who can sound professional and fake a listing 🤷♂️ these companies don't care about you and actively work against your best interest in 99% of cases. As long as your competent who cares how you get your foot in the door, fuck em.
Somebody will want to hire him. Dude needs to find a better job.
Remember she s talking about the group of ‘best ppl’ not the group of ‘we think we are the best ppl’… most positions honestly are replaceable and most companies have guidelines for promotions
@@M-WG agreed.
My mom taught me this. Every 3 years either move up or out. Or at the very least evaluate where I am and if I am content where I am. I've always stuck to that. Sometimes it's been 2 or 4 years, but around there I've always either gotten a promotion with a raise or new job all together
Her perfect example is of the most annoying person in the office, she's probably that person and people get so annoyed with her she has to leave her job every 2 years, now she acts like everyone should do that 😂😂
I think it depends on the industry. I work in a medical field, and I have been with my company for 10 years. My hourly wage is about $10 less than what is offered next door hospitals. However, I work 4x10 T,W,Tr, Fr. No calls, no weekends. All holidays paid. I am on a top of a seniority list. I make 10 PTO hours per pay period. I have pension and 403 B pension plan. My commute is 20 min. I don't give a shit about $10 extra bucks an hour.
Exactly. I also work in the medical field too. I've been working at my hospital for 18 years. I probably could make more somewhere else but I make at the top of my pay range. I have the most seniority. My health insurance is top of the line with extremely low premiums. I have generous PTO. No holidays or weekends. I work 4 10s with every Friday off. Opportunities for overtime if I want it. I also work remote/hybrid. Plus a decent retirement plan. I'm not going anywhere as of now.
You’re taking comfort now and not thinking long term. What if you take the $10 (20k per year) this time and in another 2/3 years it’s another $10. Now a few years later you could be making $40k more and who’s to say the next jobs won’t have better perks. Employers tend to treat employees better the more they pay them.
@@jordanedwards5168 Sure, people can make the additional $10/hr, but I experienced the opposite 2yrs ago with a better paying company.
In my experience, I've learned better pay in some companies are used as a "bait and switch." For all we know, the person who sacrificed the extra $10/hr is possibly making $20/hr currently.
I do not blame them for keeping their current job & benefits. Sometimes, peace of mind and a calm environment is worth so much more to your mental health and well-being, than a company that can pay more, stress you out and are most likely chaotically disorganized because it's likely a revolving door company.
Revolving door companies are terrible to work for, because people are constanting coming and going. Hired and leaving. The company doesn't get the structure it needs because of the toxicity of the environment they allow, and have created in the workplace for their employees.
@@jordanedwards5168 ive worked for years in an industry thats running 24/7 like the medical field. in these types of fields, a theoretical 40k isnt free money to do the same job with the best schedule. its not a one sizs fits all type deal. its more of a value proposition. is the worth my time or not? or better yet, is this a good deal or not? if you want to spend your entire working career at the bottom of the senority ladder, stuck working swing or grave shift, working weekends + all the holidays. on top of that get stuck working OT, and get bounced around to cover other shifts in an effort to get all that theoretical cheese, be my guest. im over it. im not trading the family time im enjoying now for the stress of chasing money that i may or may not get. im ok with letting others stick that needle in their arm. 🙅♂️
This applied to me really well. My first, job 38k, second 50k, one year only had 52K, third job 65K in span of 5 years. Yeah, I did get passed on one - two occasions because of hopping, but It's not ideal job anyway, why I slave myself and blindly loyal to a company that doesnt pay me well and can replace me any moment if I am sick. If they want people to stay & reduce turnover rate, they need to increase the pay & treat people well. I would say if you are competent & skilled, you will receive job opportunities.
At my firm in a span of 5 years, I went from $52K to $125K. Now that Im at 10 years, Im making $210K. Loyal does pay off too.
I agree, leave a company if you’re not making more (10-15%) and/or getting promoted every 2 years. Only rare exception might be an enterprise sales job where you’re pulling $350-$1M and going elsewhere doesn’t really change that. You don’t have to quit your job to start looking either. If you aren’t moving in the right direction in an organization just start the search and take your time finding the perfect new role.
I work in local government with lots of opportunities for upward mobility. So, while I don’t change employers every 2-3 years, I definitely promote. I’ve been here almost 7 years and I’m in my 3rd role. That’s best for me because I don’t lose vacation seniority, my retirement contributions, and if a role doesn’t work out, I have 6 months to return to my former position … so there is no risk to trying different jobs. I have definitely out earned my peers who stayed in the original role we were hired for by about 40%. But as many are mentioning here, I can definitely see a downside in private sector to changing so frequently.
I worked in local government and became so obese :(
Sounds like we work for the same local government 😊
...but true, in an industry where there are always promotional opportunities plus continuous benefits no matter where you move among the agencies sounds great to me! I'm currently on a hybrid remote schedule and cannot complain at all🤷🏽♀️
Yay a fellow local government worker ❤
She is 100% right. If you have a goal of your ideal salary than you'll likely get that switching jobs. This advice is not for:
1) People who care more about work/life balance.
2)People who just love their current work environment (coworkers, boss, clients).
3) Government employees who will receive a pension.
I think she skipped over this little part: you have to be worth it to obtain it.
I work for a large corporation and the first 4 years, I worked hard and waited for promotions that weren't available in my office (only small annual raises...25-75 cent small and a couple of hundred dollar bonuses throughout the year).
By the end of year 4, I decided that I would force my promotions by doing just that (every 2 years or less), I apply for higher paying positions with the same company (but different departments). 5 years later, I make more than double what I used to make and I am still climbing up the corporate ladder. I promote myself now, instead of waiting for someone else to do it. Last year they gave me a raise and a $5000 bonus just to stay in their department for an extra year.😂 You have to know your worth and be willing to walk if they're not talking your language ($$$).
That’s great advice 👌👌
Every person I know who took this advice is not making any more money than they were 7-10 years ago. Unless they’re still where they went when they left the original job. It only works for a select few with select skill sets. This is not advice for the masses.
Hmm. I left my receptionist job of twelve years, a decade ago, and then hopped around every couple of years to gain new skills and more exposure. I've now secured a government job and am making around 3x what I made when I first left my original job. All of this without any degree. So, I definitely do think it can work. And I don't think I'm select, by any means. (I live in WA state and am in accounting/finance now, for reference.) I think that when you're in the private sector and have kinda topped out where the raises aren't coming or are measly at best, it's up to YOU to create your own raises, you know? Go out and get them! Do it until you get to a place where you're comfortable and then bunker down until retirement. That's my plan, at least. While I don't love where I am (my immediate team is trash) I do love that I'm in the WA DRS now and as long as I stay a WA govt employee, my retirement will follow me wherever I go.
It worked for me. But it probably does depend on the industry.
Agreed, my dad changed jobs about every two years and he’s worse off than if he had just stayed. Constantly chasing the buck made him miserable and eventually his constant moving just proved to employers that he wasn’t someone they wanted to put time and effort into training and meshing with the group. Since he was just going to leave anyway.
Now, he’s 63 and can’t find a job despite 40 years of experience and at one point making $250k a year.
@@Rachel-hb5zx If your dad was making that kind of money with that kind of age, he should be retired already Not looking for a new job.
@@MidwestBoomhe should’ve, he made bad financial decisions a lot. 6 months before he lost his last job, he had just switched jobs and cashed out his 401k for a down payment for a new house instead of staying in the house they had that was almost paid off.
He tried to be a landlord without learning how that works first and got terrible tenants that wrecked the house.
Then he lost his job and he used his savings to stay afloat until he found another job. He didn’t and he ended up short-selling the first house and losing the other to foreclosure.
He hasn’t found a job since and now does handyman work where he can
I always leave after 2-3 years, because that's when I get burnt out, get too much work put on me, or there's too much workplace drama that I just don't want to be around.
I’ve been in my job since 2017. No promotion, no pay rise! They are taking the Micky… but I like my job, my co workers and our customers. Oh well,… my happiness is more important than money
Have you asked for a raise?
I agree. I retired from a job I loved so much I was willing to make less than what I could have if I had accepted other offers.
Don’t compare to yourself with others, compare yourself who you were yesterday…be grateful for what you have, and others don’t have…she is materialistic girl…don’t listen to her crab…Good luck…😊
I agree with this. I used to make 6 figures as my first as an engineer very toxic environment, on-site and like to burn people out. My second job took a pay cut less than 6 figures but it’s fully remote, awesome manager/team, great work life balance and very chill job less stress. Still here over 3 years now.
Agree. I have the best boss and the best coworkers
I’d rather stay at one job and make a little less of that one job is great. If I love the place I work, I’m not leaving unless they become corrupt or the pay is so low I can’t make ends meet. My current manager has been on my unit for 30 years. She started in this unit and she plans on retiring in this unit because of how much she loves it. I’d rather have a career like hers instead of finding a new job every few years with employers who don’t care about anyone but themselves.
Exactly 100% true based on my experience 😍 you stick longer with the company not going to promote you at the end, the company will keep you hiring the higher position staffs and you still have to train them to lead you. What’s the point of sticking? Rather move to new company offered you high status and paid. Overall years you spending with new company is the same the one you going to stick with but you become higher and get a status. That’s called taking a risk to improve your career ❤️
In this case it makes perfect sense.
Nah fam…the company I work for allows me to grow and have been compensated accordingly. I have soft skills and intellect that has enabled me to work for departments that usually need extensive work experience. The Internet is full of people presenting their version of end all and be all solutions when each person and each situation is different.
So, you're essentially repeating what she said but still trying to negate her? She said you need jobs in companies that give you the opportunity to grow and give you a raise periodically (which you said in your first sentence that your company offers you).
I get the sentiment of this video. If $$$ increase is the #1 metric, you must be flexible and strategic, work hard, and change work setting if necessary. Monetary increases for many are not the #1 goal of job satisfaction. For instance, since we make “enough money” in my family, I keep a job compatible with my “mom life.” It would be unwise for me to hop around, risk health insurance lapse, work longer hours starting over, hire someone to get my kids to their practices, and such. It is the whole perks package, not just salary.
She sounds like someone who has a rich daddy/husband who will bail her out if this strategy doesn't work😂

She's not wrong... look for a job while you still have a job its the key
From my experience she is correct. Longest I've stayed in any job is 3 years. On top of staying in your job while on the job search, I think it's always important to be constantly improving your skills. Education and skills certifications / trainings will help to ensure that your salary will be higher for each consecutive job you seek. Job hopping doesn't have to be considered as this frivolous thing that these comments are making it out to be.

@@pillsberrydopeboy851professional BSter.😂
Same 3.5x in 10 years here, while knowing I'm underpaid and can likely jump again for work that make that 5.8x based on industry standards. especially in corporate jobs, this rings true.
It's not easy and I'm pretty burnt out, but I'd rather earn higher while younger and invest. Each move made the next slightly easier too with diverse experiences gained
Depending on a lot though. Most jobs never pay for experience... so you gotta be that 1% that talks the talk but can you walk it
Yep! Especially after the layoffs from last year, companies don’t pretend they care about loyalty and tenure anymore! Do what’s best for you.
i got fired after being at the company for 2 yrs (supervisor denied my sick days when i was out with the flu). i was upset but my new job is a 160% pay increase… so i say thank you
Companies will always take advantage of you and squeeze you for all your worth never paying you enough I completely agree with her
I’ve never understood how anyone can stay somewhere they hate. Employment is voluntary.
I’ve had numerous jobs over the years. It’s about finding the right fit and making a decent living.
My hourly rate has quadrupled since 2010 because of opportunistic moves. Most employers don’t give a shit about you and will replace you in a minute. You need that same energy and mindset when it comes your livelihood. ALWAYS do what’s best for YOU!!
Yup but it's impossible to find a job that pays.

This only works for people in managerial or corporate position. This does not work for your sales staff, cleaning staff, data clerks, receptionists, logistical team, etc…. Most of those jobs pay low across the market so mobilizing does not always give you an increase.
Yes, moving around will make you more successful, but more importantly, it makes you more valuable.
I love my job. I work from home. I believe in the agency I work for. They treat me like an adult. No micromanaging. I will stay.
She’s right! My cousin is in the same field as me, shorter time by 10 years and makes over $12,000 more than I do because she job hops. I have only switched jobs twice in my 16 year career. I only receive a $1,000 raise each year. Faithful employees receive nothing compared to job hoppers!
Yeah, I’m calling it what it is! It’s a job hopper!
When a company I used to work at merged with another, a corporate rep came to talk to the employees about what changed and overall wage raises. Someone asked if they'd be compensated for their 10+ years of loyalty over someone brand new and the rep asked her why she thinks she deserves that...there was a mass exodus about a month later.
New employees with hardly any experience usually get paid more than oe about the same as employees who have been there for years. My oldest sister works at Intel, for more than 15 years, my younger sister started there a couple of years ago, with approx. 1 yr experience in the same field, and she started with the almost the same pay as my oldest sister. It's ridiculous.
Start looking for a job in 3 years ..
my husband had been 2 years work in same company, haven't given any raise 😞
What she is right about is the fact that salaries must increase to attract top talent in the new crop of job seekers, lateral movers, or career changers. The clip leaves a lot of nuance out.
I quit a job in 2022, got a job for 2 dollars an hour more in 2023, quit that job after 5 months and made another 2 dollars an hour at the next job. Every time an employer was mean, standing up for myself and leaving got me more money. If they would have been nice i would have just stayed forever, so im glad they were mean. :) be brave!!
I hear her and it’s true- my last job would only give 5% raises- everyone that left got 20% raises -- however in 2024- the market reset wages… if you don’t leave in 2024- then target 2025… we call it the BBD - always looking for the bigger better deal. As for seniority- that means 0 to so many corporations - I’ve seen 20 year veterans get laid off because they say they make too much… ( and the got away with legally by saying we reclassified job- meaning they but those job duties on jr position and pay them less… in the end no one is going to take care of your money- except you!
🎯
I'm witness to someone who was senior lose their job because they made "too much as well". Currently, we are in a world where you have to keep your head down, don't do too much, but don't do too little either...
Her advice has a point. I'm not looking for a career, I'm just tryng to pay bills right now, save a little, and enjoy my time outside of work. No career burn out. No putting up with shitty raises. Companies will lay you off and fire you for no reason. Many people lost their CAREERS during the pandemic with no recourse. I've job hopped for almost 15 years now and I never had a problem finding a job anywhere. Most employers do not check references or backgrounds outside of criminal. I have no record. Lie on your resume if you have to, who gives a damn. Get s burner phone and be your own professional reference. I've done this at least 3 times when a job I knew I could do (simple pencil pushing but paid well) had insane requirements. Get your money and move on.
Lie on your resume? Be your own reference via a burner phone? This is undignified advice and karma comes back around to people who do this.
Whoever takes career advice from a 20yr old, deserves what they get
What a closed minded comment. I’ve come to learn that good advice can come from ppl of varying ages and backgrounds. And if you’re the type of person to dismiss someone’s advice because of their age, that’s your arrogance and close mindedness. Hence, your comment didn’t say anything about her being wrong.
it's what happens....we an RN who started out 40$ an hour....2 of the RN'S WHO worked the floor went to HR to see if they could get a raise...was told no...they went back gave their 2 weeks noticed..took a month off & reapplied...so they went from 25$ an hour was rehired at 40$ an hour & also got a 25,000 sign on bonus....
💀
Yeah, when you find out how much colleagues make, it makes a difference. I found out that I girl I trained made the same as me. Couldn't believe it. Used it to get me a 40% raise.
This might come as a shock, but I’d rather you not go overboard with the ellipses. They make your text illegible.
The $ sign goes in the front
So true. Working from home saves so much more money and headache. Seriously the stress of a workplace cost me so much more and I noticed my medical bills always came on the 3rd year of any job I have ever had. Stress
The truth is that in life you can either focus on building a *"resume"* or building a *"business"!* 💯
I have been hearing the “job market is bad” since I was 16 years old that I started working. I have never had an issue finding a job and I work very hard but if I’m not being appreciated and taken care by the company I move on. My last job I worked in a company 7 years because the owner of the company knew how hard I worked and he knew he needed to keep me happy in return because he wouldn’t find another one like me.
This is good advice if you take it with a grain of salt.
Is the company you are jumping to stable? Is the team you are joining established? How to other people in the company view it (Glassdoor reviews, etc)?
It is a very real scenario that you switch jobs & get fired within months. It’s happening a lot. Only jump if you feel the opportunity is stable & if it’s too good of an offer to pass up, make sure you have an emergency fund built up just in case.
She's absolutely right. I haven't stopped to think about this in a long time, but there's a lot of truth in what she's saying. I'm going through several late-stage career changes myself right now with different organizations.
If you hop from job to job every 2 years your resume will be less likely to be considered. No one wants to hire an unstable employee.
It depends on the industry, job market and market situation. In my industry, it's a normal.

That might be a good thing lol they know you not going to take their bs and you’re not a person who bow down

@@Ark-ys2upOR they could assume you’ve been fired from those jobs or that you weren’t competent.
I could switch jobs every 2 years and sure I could be making 2 or 3 dollars an hour more, but I love the peace of mind and security I have staying at my job for several years now. Plus, there's a lot of other little perks that can't be measured by pay or other statistical graph for people to choose to stay at a job for 5-10 years or more.
Great idea and only doable for younger age professionals. Once we get older and have family, it will be challenging to jump ship. Think about people at 50s or 60s, their only goal is not to get layoff at work.

So while in theory this can work but it also depends on the area you live in, your profession, and your educational background as well.
This can be applied to people that have at least bachelor’s degree, a minimum of 5 years experience, live in a large city, and plan to work for major corporations their entire career.
Also you have to realize that company is investing as much in the employee as much as you invests in them. And there is a learning and growth process involved in every job. Now I’m not saying you have to stay someplace for a decade or more with no raise. But context is always key when you have these kinds of discussions and conversations.
If your resume shows that you’re leaving jobs every 2-3 years, a company may be less likely to hire you 😂

This is great advice, for increasing your income, but not necessarily your happiness. With promotions comes added responsibility and stress. Often times added pressure and longer or more demanding work hours. Changing jobs that often can lead to a bigger circle of acquaintances, but fewer true workplace friends. There is nothing wrong with settling into a role for longer than a couple years. You should be analyzing your whole situation - income, work/life balance, personal goals and happiness, family demands and happiness, etc. Finding a new job (and possibly having to move you family) ever 2 years is costly and disruptive. It may conflict with your spouse's career. It may cause issues with your children due to changing schools. There are a TON of variables to consider, not just your salary increases. This video is short-sighted in that aspect.
As a recruiter, hiring managers don’t like to see this!
No we don't. I work with 3 different recruiters for our high paid positions and they know not to even bother me if the candidate has less than 5 years per position. It costs a fortune to hire and train. Part of my pay is also based on retention. If there's no chance I can retain you I don't want to bother. Our online postings completely filter out those kinds of resumes I never even see them.
As a professional recruiter, I wouldn’t recommend this. Hiring managers look at job history and many will not even interview candidates who are “job hoppy” and change jobs every other year. My advice would be to do your work well, set a meeting with your boss and ask for that raise. If they say no or not right now, ask what the expectations are and what you need to accomplish in order to make that raise. Also, some professions have somewhat of a ceiling for compensation, so unless you are continually being promoted into a more senior or leadership position it might only be feasible up into a certain amount.
I stayed at my last job for 17 years. They could never understand why I didn't want to move up. I liked what I did and was living comfortably with what I had. Greed is mot a good virtue.
She's absolutely right!! I had my yearly evaluation at my previous job and got a 2.75 raise, which did not make sense to me because I was above "meets expectations" in all aspects of my role. I applied to a new role somewhere else and made 32% more at my new job. My old job wanted to keep me and talked to HR about a bonus retention, but even with that it was not up to par with my new job. The process of finding a new job is not easy, but staying at a job that is not paying you what you're worth is not easy too. At the end of the day, it's just business.
Yepp. I seen people get laid off this past year and it just reminds me to not stay comfy, keep improving my skills, connect with people, and keep my resume up to date.
They clearly needed a bigger sample size for that study.
Agree. That study is most questionable.
Obviously didn't realize that in the last 5 years we can now automatically filter out job hoppers and all sorts of other red flags without ever having to see the resumes. I'm a hiring manager and people call to check on their resume all the time, but it was automatically rejected if I can't find it. I say as much "it seems your resume was rejected upon submission. It had red flags on it. I'm sorry, I can't specifically say what it was. I can't know because the filters take them out for me." People get very angry they weren't immediately informed we automatically rejected their resume, but my job is to hire not tell people why we won't hire them.
Ive been saying this for years...the 1960s company loyalty mindset is poison! The CEOs & big corp ppl are CONSTANTLY switching up positions. The masses are complacent
I'm content and happy. I wouldn't call it complacent.
Moving "up" to where? Big corp people and CEOs spend so much time showing off how they're always "better" that they mostly seem to have no time left to understand what real value actually is and where their whole jobs relate to it.
If mr. X makes 3x than 3 years ago he might be deluded by believing he became 3x more worthy and yet it's far more likely that he either needs 3x more money compared to 3 years ago to buy anything or that there's 3x more people in the streets than 3 years ago hence the social aspect of his life quality is 3x worse than 3 years ago.
Frankly if we were to look at real value, meritocracy adepts who expect constant growth from their pay and "keep going up" most of the time aren't going anywhere further than delusion and inflation... If gdp was an adequate parameter, the richest countries in the world wouldn't be scoring up in illnesses and social issues, yet here we are.
I remember being ridiculed for doing this. I would be told why is it so hard for you to stay at one job? I started at $26 in 2020. I now make $40 an hour now but switched to part time for personal reasons. I’m a licensed vocational nurse.
Awesome! Since 2020 I went from $15 to 42/ hour. But I now am staying at my job for a bit. Great company and bonuses will provide the 15-20% 🙏 raises.
Depends on your level. You can’t get to higher senior level roles without getting promoted first. No one will hire a director who hasn’t been a director before, you need to stay somewhere long enough to be promoted into that role first. This only really works early on in your career.
True i was stuck at a job with little raise, decieded to take this route and double my income
As a recruiter I tend to shy away from people who have worked 2 years or less at a job.
I have trouble lasting just a year at most jobs 😢
Thankfully, the business-smart recruiters don't 😊😊.
This is the most i've heard someone talk without actually saying anything
Have to agree.
Spot on! Not long ago I had to finally ditch a job that wanted to keep lowballing me regarding my salary and taking advantage of me, especially as literally the only woman working and the only full-time employee. They even acknowledged that I was a hard worker and tried to keep me, but I resigned and was firm about my decision. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made! When you have the upper hand and know you value, you owe it to yourself to leave for better opportunity! When rolls are reversed, companies are fine screwing over their employees. Do what you have to do for your future❤
My work gives a raise to everyone every year.
Enjoy that 2-3% raise 😂
