Worst advice ever. Your blood pressure will rise and you will wish you were a farmer.
I can see how that would very easily happen, but my experience is that it’s easier to find a new job than get a raise. Eventually you’ll get that senior position too.
The job-jump pay benefits may be true long-term but I’ve been keeping my eye on the Atlanta Fed Wage Growth tool with some relevant data. The difference between switchers and stayers is very small right now probably driven by slow hiring. The market is cold. We may all become seniors unless we get laid off or the market changes for the better.
I’m currently at the 1 year mark of my IT internship, idk when I should leave. Should I stick with it for another year while I’m still in school and then jump after I graduate? Should I get a new job and jump this summer? So many options
The best time to shop other jobs is while you’re still getting paid at your current one.
Funny idea that you’re going to get promotion and pay rise by staying where you are and hoping the management will magically appreciate your efforts and reward you.
“The best career advice is to just not get fired or laid off, idiot, duh.”
Wow, why didn’t I think of that.
Nintendo career advice!
And when you’re the knowledgeable senior you will also have the knowledge that they’re hiring people for more than they pay you.
It also means not absolutely hating your job. If you’re the only hater and everyone else likes working in the company you’ll have a bad time waiting for everyone to leave.
Just gotta do it with confidence
The managers do say “move fast and break things.”
They don’t like it when we do which is odd.
Just don’t write bugs. Problem solved.
An AWS employee, I see
Literally me right now in my job after two years. Projet Owner left, Tech Lead left, two Devops engineers left… I was supposed to be just a Dev and instead I end up doing a bit of everything. Fucking crazy. Coincidentally, I’ve never been in a job for more than two years…
how many yoe ?
I’ve done that. It sucks.
I speed ran this. First job right out of uni, the team lead went on holiday 2 weeks later and never came back. Everyone else was gone within 3 months.
Advancement by attrition
You won’t get laid more, that’s for sure!
Or even though you are around for years the unqualified boss’s nephew gets the raise and senior position.
But at what cost… At what cost…
Nearly everyone else in a team I work on decided to leave along with their boss, so guess who’s left with the knowledge
